Notes About Installation and Uninstallation
General
- Please update your operating system before you install Autodesk Inventor 2015. Reboot your system after all security updates, and so on, are installed.
- 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.
- 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.
- If you choose to download and install from local files, to a system not within the same Domain, you may encounter a Security Warning dialog during the Application Manager installation. Select the Run option to continue the installation successfully.
- Autodesk 360 Drive functionality is supported only within 2015 products by Autodesk Desktop Companion (sync) version 5 or above. Autodesk Desktop Companion version 5 is an optional component of AutoCAD and Inventor 2015 product installation.
- To re-enable Autodesk 360 for for 2015 products, uninstall Autodesk 360 first, and then re-run the 2015 product installer.
- When installed on the same system as Inventor 2014, the Configuration 360 add-in from Inventor 2015 is also available within the Inventor 2014 user interface. This add-in provides access to the online service and causes no issues within Inventor 2014.
Installation
- Autodesk Inventor 2015 installs .NET 4.5 SP1 on Windows 7 operating systems. If you have Autodesk Inventor 2013 installed on the same computer, it is essential that you install Update 1 for Inventor 2013 SP1.1 to correct issues with running Autodesk Inventor 2013 with .NET 4.5.
- If the installer prevents you from installing one or more products, pause the cursor over the red 'prohibited' circle beside the product name to get more information.
- A new application tool Autodesk Application Manager is installed with Inventor. After you install Inventor, the Autodesk Privacy Policy displays. Accept the terms and then close the dialog box. The application is used for detecting Autodesk Service Pack and Updates later.
Uninstallation
- During uninstallation, if error 1910 displays, click OK to continue. Then delete the shortcut that remains on the desktop. It is an issue from Microsoft, and there are also some similar issues discussions on Microsoft tech page, no solution for now.
- When you uninstall a 2015 product, desktop companion also uninstalls. If any 2013, 2014, or 2015 versions of AutoCAD, Inventor, or Showcase are currently installed, the uninstallation of desktop companion includes removal of Autodesk 360 Drive functionality.
- If you have any 2014 product installed as well, the Autodesk 360 Desktop Companion does not fully integrate into the Autodesk Uninstall Tool. When uninstalling, to uninstall the Autodesk 360 feature, use the Programs and Features control panel applet.
- Autodesk Inventor 2015 includes a new Uninstall Tool that uninstalls the following components:

Installation Instructions
Before you begin...
- Install all Windows Updates that are pending on your machine and reboot:
- Verify that enough disk space is available on your machine to install Autodesk Inventor 2015.
Windows 7: Windows Update is in the Control Panel, which is accessible from the Start menu.
Windows 8: Windows Update is in the Control Panel, on the desktop Charms Bar, Settings menu.
It is sometimes necessary to perform Windows Update multiple times to completely update your operating system.
Installation for Electronic Fulfillment users only:
- Download the appropriate Inventor 2015 installation file to a temporary location on your computer hard drive.
- To access the installer, double-click the self-extracting executable file. Temporary extraction is to your temp folder. Operating System errors regarding very long path names can occur if this temporary location is nested too many levels deep.
- We recommend that you use the default destination folder, which is 'C:Autodesk', as the self-extract destination folder name. After the file is extracted, the Inventor installer wizard launches automatically. If it does not launch, browse to the folder where all files were extracted and double-click setup.exe.
- To set preferences, in the Install > Configure Installation dialog box, click the expandable arrow.
- After configuration, begin the installation.
- When the installation is done, click Finish.
- A system reboot is sometimes required if you install a new Autodesk 360 with this installer.
Installation for DVD users only:
- Based on the bit type of your operating system, insert the appropriate DVD.
- The Inventor installer wizard launches automatically. If it does not launch, open the DVD disc and double-click setup.exe to start the installation.
- After configuration, confirm all your preferences are set as required before starting the installation.
- When the installation is done, click Finish.
- A system reboot is sometimes required if you install a new Autodesk 360 with this installer.
For more detailed instructions, please refer to the installation instructions provided with your delivered media containing Autodesk Inventor 2015.
To verify the installation was successful, start Inventor. On the Help menu, select About Autodesk Inventor. If the About box displays: Build: 159, Release: 2015, the installation was successful.
- We recommend that you use a certified graphics card, and that your graphics card driver is up to date. See the Autodesk Inventor 2014 Release cards and drivers. The certified graphics cards and drivers are also applicable to Autodesk Inventor 2015.
- For machines with certain ATI/AMD graphics cards, to avoid glitches in the graphics window, use the Performance graphics setting instead of the Quality setting.
- For laptop computers with both an NVidia GeForce GPU and an Intel integrated GPU, change graphics from discrete GPU to Intel HD integrated graphics to ensure that Inventor 2015 works correctly.
- Inventor uses TrueType and OpenType fonts. Other fonts are not supported.
- For the document window title, Autodesk Inventor 2015 follows the setting 'Hide Extension for known file types' in Windows Explorer, like Microsoft Word or Excel.
- When working with assemblies with more than 25000 components, we recommend that you use a 64-bit machine with 20 GB or more of physical RAM.
