Aaaargh !!!!

I have just re-installed my work computer, a two day affair I might add. I am not complaining, it was taking me long and longer to boot my computer, average time from Logon to being able to use the machine was 7 - 10 minutes. absolute madness.

Anyway the reason for the post, it too me forever to get the Inventor SDK working, I thought I would put it here, because I struggled to find support on the web.

Note, The registry info has been extracted from the Autodesk Forums.

1 - DISABLE ANTIVURUS
2 - Perform the following registry change:

RUN Regedit.exe
Drill down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk
Right click on the folder and click PERMISSIONS...
Click the Advanced Button
Click the Owner Tab
Click the Change owner to: Administrators (your workstations name) and
Check mark the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Click Apply
Click the Permissions Tab and double check that the Administrators have Full Control for This key and subkeys.
Click OK , Click OK , Close Regedit
Restart the computer.


3 - Install the "User Tools" SDK
(C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor \SDK)

Select the "Just Me" option
Run everything as "Administrator"

4 - run the "RegisterDrawingTools.exe"


This worked for me.
