Mechanical Desktop 2009 software not included with Inventor DVD media
Issue
You want to install Mechanical Desktop 2009, but you could not find the product on your Inventor installation DVDs.
Solution
All Inventor 2009 products include Autodesk Mechanical Desktop 2009, but the MDT software is no longer included on the Inventor DVD. If you use Mechanical Desktop, you need to download an additional add-in. This change was designed to simplify the installation experience for customers who do not use Mechanical Desktop.
This change is detailed in the notification card included in your product box.
