                          ERROR - No Valid Inventor Installation Detected

                          Authored by Nick Heberle September 27th, 2021 7780 views 1 likes KB1050467

                          Error

                          In CAD Configuration Manager, the Autodesk Inventor Workbench Associative Interface fails to configure successfully, failing with the error:

                          <<Inventor PlugIn>>
                          No valid Inventor installation detected

                          Description/Cause

                          Due to a mismatch with two registry keys, CAD Configuration Manager is unable to properly identify the version of Autodesk Inventor installed.

                          Solution

                          Delete

                          Warning

                          The following steps involve verifying and modifying in the Windows Registry.  Modifying registry entries beyond what is described here can corrupt the operating system.

                          Identify the Appropriate Registry Version

                          1. In Windows Search, enter "Registry Editor"
                          2. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, and then expand the following subkeys: SOFTWARE > Autodesk > Inventor
                          3. Under the Inventor subkey, locate the subkey named RegistryVersionXX.X.  Note the version (XX.X) listed.

                          Verify the Current Version Key Matches

                          1. Under the Inventor subkey, select the Current Version subkey
                          2. In the right-hand pane, locate RegistryVersion entry, and note value listed for the entry
                          3. If the value of the RegistryVersion key does not match RegistryVersionXX.X from the previous section, you will need to modify the Registry Version key.
                          4. Right click on RegistryVersion and choose Modify.  In the value data field, modify the existing entry to match RegistryVersionXX.X previously identified, and click OK.
                          5. Close Registry Editor, and CAD Configuration Manager should now be able to successfully configure the Autodesk Inventor Workbench Associative Interface
