In some cases Inventor modules may not function correctly despite the overall installation seems to work correctly. This may happen with any module like Inventor Studio, Tube&Pipe, Stress analysis, Design Accelerator, Dynamic Simulation, Frame Generator, the Content Center or Vault add-ins.

Symptoms usually vary from missing functionality or toolbar icons not working, to missing add-ins in your configuration. Commands may be grayed out or replaced by a question mark combined with a "Command not loaded" message.

To attempt to correct add-in registration issues, simply download attached batch file and place it in your BIN directory of your Inventor installation, usually under Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor. You will need administrative privileges to run this program, and on Windows Vista systems also UAC (User Access Control) switched off. To run this batch files simply double click on it, making sure no Inventor.exe processes are running.
