Uninstallation

In certain situations the uninstallation of Autodesk Inventor Engineer-to-Order Series 2012 Service Pack 1, through the typical operating system uninstall capability, has a dependency on the original installation media. We recommend that before you start this uninstall, ensure that the original installation media is available and mounted at the same location used during the installation of Autodesk Inventor Engineer-to-Order Series 2012.


The installer process sometimes hangs as it waits for operating system file update time-outs. If the following steps do not enable the process to complete, wait until all of these file updates complete. This process takes up to 6 hours. To greatly speed up the uninstall process, perform the following steps:

    1. Access Network Connections from within your systems Control Panel.
    2. Disable the local area connection and all network adaptors, including virtual adaptors.
    3. After the uninstall process completes successfully, re-enable the local area connection and all network adaptors, including virtual adaptors, from within your systems Control Panel.
