Notes about Installation and Uninstallation

General

  • If you are installing this Autodesk Inventor 2017 on a computer which you previously used to run an Alpha or Beta build, perform the following before starting the installation:
    • Delete or uninstall any previous versions of an Alpha or Beta build.
    • Delete any existing Spoon folders from %temp% and %localappdata%.
    • Delete all files/folders under C:UsersPublicDocumentsAutodeskInventor 2017.
    • Delete all files/folders under C:ProgramDataAutodeskInventor 2017.
    • Delete the following folders in order to work with Content Center smoothly:
      1. %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalAutodeskInventor 2017Content Center

        %USERPROFILE%DocumentsInventorContent Center FilesR2017

        See the Uninstallation section below for further information.

        Verify that Autodesk Licensing Service x64 - 3.1 does not appear in the Control Panel before reinstalling

  • 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.
  • Update your operating system before you install Autodesk Inventor 2017. Reboot your system after all security updates, etc., are installed.
  • 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.
  • In network license environments, the network license server software must be upgraded to version 11.13.1.2. Ensure that the server’s log file is located in a folder with sufficient security privileges to allow the file to be written.
  • Following Inventor 2017 installation, if you participated in the Alpha/Beta process:
    • Use the 'Reset Ribbon' command so that the default ribbon layout changes are initially displayed. (Right click on the empty grey area to the right of the ribbon, and select Ribbon Appearance, Reset Ribbon).
    • Use the Restore All Defaults command from the Marking Menu tab on the Customize dialog. (Right click on the empty grey area to the right of the ribbon, and select Customize user Commands…). This will prevent issues with the updated Marking Menu in the Presentation environment. If you have made extensive customizations for other marking menu environments then the defaults only need to be set for each of the Presentation Sub-Environments.

Installation

  • Autodesk Inventor 2017 installs .NET 4.6 to your operating system.
  • To avoid potential install failure when installing .Net4.6 on Windows 8.1, ensure following Microsoft updates already exist on your machine before starting the installation.
    1. Windows8.1: KB2919442; KB2919355

    If above KBs do not pre-exist on your machine, there will be an error 1904 when installing DWG TrueView 2017, and even if you ignore this failure and continue to complete installation, all applications cannot be used after installation.

  • If the installer prevents you from installing one or more products, pause the cursor over the red 'prohibited' circle beside the product name for more information.
  • Make sure the Inventor install path does not contain double-byte characters when installing Inventor on a single-byte operation system.
  • Installation is sometimes slow due to Microsoft security update KB2918614. If so, the installation will require 2-3 hours to complete. For more information, please refer to Microsoft support page.
  • If you are using Inventor with a local language, please also ensure the language pack for Autodesk Inventor Electrical Catalog Browser is installed so that the Electrical Catalog Browser can work properly.
  • A Warning 1946 dialog may be seen during installation. This is a benign Microsoft warning and can be safely ignored. Simply click OK on the dialog.
  • Autodesk Inventor 2017 includes 3 new plugins:
    1. Autodesk Desktop Connect Service

      Autodesk Guided Tutorial Plugin

      Inventor Connect Desktop for A360


    Installation:
    • Inventor 2017 will replace these add-ins with a newer version than Beta or Inventor 2016 R2, R3.
    • Recommended install sequence: Inventor 2016 RTM > R2 > R3 > Inventor 2017.
    • Do not install R2/R3 if you have Inventor 2017 installed to avoid above add-in work failure.

    Uninstallation:
    • If you want to uninstall Inventor 2017 only, and want to ensure all the functions of Inventor 2016 can work with R2, R3, just uninstall Inventor 2017 and ensure the above 3 add-ins still exist in control panel.
    • If Desktop Connect Service (Evented I/O for V8 JavaScript) is running, a warning dialog will pop up when you try to uninstall any of the add-ins. To resolve this, stop the 'node.exe' processes in Task Manager > Processes tab, or execute the following command:

      “C:Program FilesAutodeskDesktop ConnectforeverStopall.cmd”

  • Autodesk Inventor 2017 includes two new options in Deployment Mode:
    • Enable Design Collaboration.

      Including Desktop Connect, Guided Tutorials, Inventor Connect and Configurator 360.

      If you do not check this option during deployment, you may encounter an error when you try to use the related function in Inventor.

    • Enable update and communication channels from Autodesk

      Including Communication Center, and Autodesk Exchange Apps.

      Note: You can always control updates from Autodesk using the CAD Manager Tool, available from Tools and Utilities on the Installer.

      To modify the option, Enable Design Collaboration, you must uninstall and then reinstall Autodesk Inventor through Add/Remove Program.

Uninstallation

Year after year, laptops continue to get better and better. They're not only faster than last year, but designs continue to improve, and prices continue to fall. Though premium options still cost a pretty penny, you can get a very capable laptop for under $500 these days.

Picking the right one for you can still be a challenge, but we've done the hard part: testing dozens of models in our labs for things like performance, portability, build quality, and battery life. These are the best laptops we've tested this year, and the ones we'd recommend first to our families and friends.

Best Laptop: Dell XPS 13

Dell's XPS 13 was a game-changing laptop when it first debuted a few years ago, offering a 13-inch screen in a very compact body thanks to a screen with almost no dead space around it. The latest versions have the same design, with faster internal components and updated ports that will keep it current for years to come.

Best of all, the XPS 13 offers a wide range of options and price points. Though the sub-$800 entry-level model is a little slow, you can upgrade with faster processors, more storage, more RAM, a 2-in-1 hinge, a touchscreen—pretty much anything you want. For pretty much any buyer, the XPS 13 has something to offer. Read our review.

Best 2-in-1 Laptop: HP Spectre x360

The HP Spectre x360 isn't just one of the best 2-in-1 laptops we've ever used, it might be the best-looking laptop ever. Sleek, fast, lightweight, with a phenomenal keyboard, and a great touchscreen, the Spectre x360 has a lot going for it.

Though people desperate for the most portable option may still want to consider a detachable like the Microsoft Surface Pro, for most people having an attached keyboard is more useful. For buyers like that, the x360 is a killer choice. Read our review.

Best Gaming Laptop: Razer Blade

Of all the gaming laptops we tested this year, none blew us away like the Razer Blade. Available in a variety of configurations, the 14-inch Blade is sleek, fast, and significantly smaller than similarly powerful laptops—especially those packing an Nvidia 1060 GTX GPU with 6GB of RAM.

It's not cheap, but if you are looking for a gaming laptop that can do it all without weighing you down too much, the Razer Blade is the best of the bunch. Read our review.

Best Gaming Laptop Under $1,000: New Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming

Typically, buying an affordable gaming laptop means getting one that just can't play the newest games at high settings. The New Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming turns that on its head, with price just under $1,000 and an Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU.

Laptops

With the 'New' models also offering Intel's quad core 8th-gen processors, you're getting some serious gaming prowess at a very reasonable price. It can't quite keep up with the best gaming laptops and PCs, but it's far closer than any other sub-$1,000 laptop around.

Best Laptop for the Money: New Dell Inspiron 13 7000

Not to be confused with the 15-inch Gaming version of the 7000, the 13-inch Inspiron 13 7000 is like the baby brother of the Dell XPS 13. Available in a huge range of configurations (like the XPS), the Inspiron 13 7000 offers fast processors, a premium design, and a very attractive starting price.

Dell

The name is a bit confusing, but to be clear we recommend going with one of the 'New' models, since they offer quad core 8th-gen Intel Core chips. That provides way more value—no matter which config you wind up going with. Read our review.

Best for Video Editing: New Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming

Though we've already touched on why we love the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming laptop for gaming, we also love it as an ideal laptop for video editing. Though there are more powerful machines out there, the New Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming offers an Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU with 8th-gen Intel Core processors for under $1,000.

You'll want to add more RAM and storage for video editing, of course, but with such a low starting price and an easily upgradeable design, there's almost nothing this laptop can't do. Best of all, it doesn't look like a typical gaming laptop, so it'll fit in even in more professional, staid settings.

Best for Students: Asus Chromebook Flip

For most students, a Chromebook is a perfect fit. They're affordable, portable, and there's plenty of compatible software for writing papers and drafting presentations. Our favorite, by far, is the Asus Chromebook Flip C302CA.

Sleek, compact, and with an aluminum frame that is both handsome and durable, the C302CA is hands-down the best Chromebook we've tested. And with Chromebooks now able to run Android apps, there's no limit to what these machines can do. Read our review.

Best Laptop Under $500: Acer Aspire E 15

Best 17 Laptops 2017

Though it doesn't have the premium fit and finish of more expensive laptops, the Acer Aspire E 15 runs rings around anything in its price bracket. It offers a 15-inch screen, a 7th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, and a 1TB hard drive for just $350.

Reviews 2017 Laptop Computers

Though the body has a bit of creak to it and it only ships with 4GB of RAM, it's easily upgradeable and even has a DVD burner—something you just don't find on many laptops. If you need something faster you can upgrade to a model just over $500 that includes a GPU, but for buyers who don't need much, the Acer Aspire E 15 overdelivers. Read our review.
