Inventor 2010 add-inns not showing in ribbon. Stress Analysis tool bar greyed out

[kiwicadman]

I'm looking to teach Inventor. A local high school has given me an "Educational Institute Version" copy of Pro which I've loaded up to SP4.

With no add-ins loaded at startup, the stress analysis tool bar will light up when the add-in is loaded and then grey out again.

I have tried the Autodesk fix whch replaces the Bin/register files and still no luck.

Hope you haven't had the same issue!

Please help if you have.

Thanks

Rob.

there is a second fix that requires DOS experience. The memory is not that good.

Does the same task I think.

It think it walks you though the steps

Go to Start and type cmd and hit Enter, of course it is your computer, not mine if you mess it up.....

 

Also search Google for Autodesk Clean Uninstall instructions, and maybe start over.

 

I think Autodesk has changed the license on the free student version http://www.autodesk.com/edcommunity such that it can be use on YOUR computer for instructional purposes. Of course the students (and you) can use it for personal educational purposes.

Thanks JD

 

I performed the clean uninstall and then went to the educatoion site.

decided I should just go ahead and download 2013 (the free version)

So far I have only tried the "Install Now" option and at the same point each time I get a network failure notice. I have disabled all access limiters, Norton etc and still the same.

 

Any Ideas?
