    Issue with Inventor 2024 referring to template files as OLE2 compound document storage


    Looking for some help...I use Inventor 2024 for design work. In this latest version, the file types for several different types of file are all showing as OLE2 compound document storage. When I go to these file using windows explorer they have the correct file type shown. I have not run into this in previous versions 2019-2023.I have tried to seek assistance thru Autodesk forums but doesn't look like anyone has experience this issue or knows how to resolve it.

    :)

    Looking for some help...

    All files show that they are to open using Inventor 2024:

    This was my first thought where the issue was occurring. So, I have went thru each file type to ensure that they are opening with Inventor 2024.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Inventor 2024 with all updates. I have checked to windows to ensure it is up to date-Good.

    This one really has me puzzled.

    thanks.

    Hi Tim,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    It sounds like a file association problem, if you double click one of those files, does it open in Inventor 2024?

    Right click one of those files and select properties, please provide a screenshot of the resulting dialog.
