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

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
