The other day I
ran into a problem installing updates for 2015.

| Error Installing Update |
My spare time job as
help desk support engineer as well as helping on Autodesk forum and other
places requires me to have all version of Inventor as far as 2012.
Yes, I still get
questions from user using inventor 2012!
So I have all
these operating systems with each flavor of Inventor, 32 bit – 64 bit,
win 7 and win 10 (pretty much all it’s used) on virtual machines which I fire
up when needed.
However it’s easier
to download the updates, service packs and patches on separate storage and have
them all in one place for installation.
Everyone in a
while I get this error when installing updates:
“This patch
package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this
is a valid Windows Installer patch package.”
This is a poorly
documented error and the solution is dead simple.
All you have to
do is copy the installation files on C:\ drive as close to root as possible. I
have created a temp folder Updates on C:\ and ran the installation packages from
there.
