Hi All,
I've been asked by the PD department to install Autodesk 2014 on their computers in the PD suite. We've purposefully upgraded the machines to SSD's and 8GB of RAM so they are up to the task of running this large software, as well as running other software too. As a test I installed it on one machine. The installation process ran smoothly, however, when it came to running the Autodesk Inventor application it gave me the following error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)" I researched this error and other forums have suggested that it's a compatibility issue. That the version of Autodesk I'm running won't work on Windows 8.1 and is only compatible with Windows 8. They suggested to install the SP1 patch and that still came up with the same error message. I opened up a ticket with Autodesk, to see if we can get a fresh license as I assumed that this may be the issue. I sent them a screenshot of the error and they sent me the following link: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/The-application-was-unable-to-start-correctly-0xc0000142.html . This link consisted of possible causes and solutions to help resolve the isssue. However, despite going through each suggested solution, it's proved fruitless. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Ben
