If you are using Windows
7 on a 64-bit system, please verify that you have the Microsoft fix for user
mode callback exceptions KB976038. This fix ensures that Autodesk receives the
correct data from Inventor error reports. For more information, and access to
this fix and related Microsoft downloads, see Autodesk Technical
Solution 15492718.
·
Update your operating
system before you install Autodesk Inventor LT 2017. Reboot your system after
all security updates, etc., are installed.
·
Close all Autodesk
applications before installation, maintenance, or uninstallation of the
software.
·
If you download the
source files to a local folder with a name that contains non-English
characters, ensure that the language in Regional Settings is consistent with
the language name of the local folder.
·
In network license
environments, the network license server software must be upgraded to version
11.13.1.2. Ensure that the server’s log file is located in a folder with
sufficient security privileges to allow the file to be written.
·
Following installation,
open Inventor LT, right-click on the ribbon, and select the "Reset
Ribbon" command so that the default ribbon layout changes are initially
displayed. (Right click on the empty grey area to the right of the ribbon, and
select Ribbon Appearance > Reset Ribbon.)
Installation
·
Autodesk Inventor LT
2017 installs .NET 4.6 to your operating system.
·
To avoid potential
install failure when installing .Net4.6 on Windows 8.1, ensure following
Microsoft updates already exist on your machine before starting the
installation.
Windows8.1:
KB2919442; KB2919355
If above KBs doesn’t pre-exist on
your machine, there will be an error 1904 when installing DWG TrueView 2017, and even if ignore this failure and continue
to complete installation, all applications cannot be used after installation.
·
If the installer prevents
you from installing one or more products, pause the cursor over the red
"prohibited" circle beside the product name for more information.
·
Make sure the Inventor
install path does not contain double-byte characters when installing Inventor
on a single-byte operation system.
·
Installation is
sometimes slow due to Microsoft security update KB2918614. If so, the
installation will require 2-3 hours to complete. For more information, please
refer to Microsoft support
page.
·
A Warning 1946 dialog may
be seen during installation, such as “Warning 1946. Property
‘{9F4C2855-9F79-4B39-A80D0-E1D42DE1D5F3},12’ for
shortcut ‘Add-In Manager 2017.lnk’ could not be set” . This is a benign
Microsoft warning and can be safely ignored. Simply click OK on the dialog.
Uninstallation
·
During uninstallation,
if error 1910 displays, click OK to continue. Then delete the shortcut that
remains on the desktop. This is a Microsoft issue. Additional issues can be
viewed on the Microsoft
tech page. There is no solution for these issues now.
