RE: SW2005 SP1.0

The people at SolidWorks do. The rest of us will know anyday. There are also many threads on this subject.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

It's unfair that us, SW customers that paied for support, must wait for some MS fix to have SP1.0! Why don't SW return to the earlier process for install SP? Apart the fact that it takes longer, much longer to install the SP, I don't see any other "benefits" of using the new install process (I've never rolled back any instalation and, if I ever need to do that, I will prefer reinstall SW).

And if MS takes one year to fix the bug?

If the injection of my car is dead, I don't care if it's BOSCH or LUCAS or if these companies have problems fixing the malfunction. The car manufacturer must solve my problem! I bought the car from him. SW should do the same.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

The SP seems to be out on Early vis once again. This is the EV version of SP1.0 that everyone will see. So hopefully it will be soon.

I like the WI installer, I find it easier and much more configurable when installing. It's great for those that want to install silently, or SNL.

You want to reinstall but there are more customers that would not want to reinstall every time something breaks. One of the benefits is the Repair or Modify. This helps user fix SW issues without having to reisntall. This is a big benefit, and it doesn't take that long.

I think a normal install of WI takes as long as the old way of doing it, if the old way had as much information or data that SW05 has to install.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

Solidworks 2005 "breaks" so often for so many reasons, and with so many service packs us beta testers must apply, it is logical that a clean/registry wipe install of 0.0 to the latest service pack will leave much less room for unknowns than applying/rolling back subsequent service packs.

The Solidworks forum attests to this in many threads.

The WI rollback feature is useless to many users who have been burnt by dodgy installations, and has no other tangible benefits over installshield. I also find it disturbing that Solidworks use our subscription money to help Microsoft develop this beast of a thing.

The Solidworks world series is touting new functionality for SW 2006 while SW2005 is unusable for many due to regressions like disappearing feature dimensions in assemlies- cannot edit existing equations- can't find the dimensions. A workable existing SW2005 would have been appropriate before flouting the next release.

Solidworks 2006- based on 2005 technology!

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

SP 1 Just released !

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

Where is it?

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

On sw website.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

SWscience,
I just checked. Do you see it at the Welcome log-in? As shown below?

Welcome! Latest SolidWorks Service Pack:
         SolidWorks 2005 SP0.1

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

That is "Early visibility" v1.0.
The full v1.0 is not out yet.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

I personally find the WI of significant benefit. I have SNL w/ 57 licenses and over 100 installed seats across the states. I don't know about you, but if you had to chuck in 3 CDs over a 30+ minute time for just one install you'd see the benefits of WI. I can do installs in less than 3 minutes, and my time is now better spent.

Scott,
Where do you see it? I can't find it in SW site. Only EV version. thanks

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

Bradley pointed out to me that this is the Release Candidate version. I remember getting and email, but the SW website doesn't list it as a RC version. SW should really point this out to all users whether they are on EV or not what version is being published. The Public version should be out soon.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

The only SP1.0 for SW05 I see has a date of 17DEC04.  That's not new.

Have you read FAQ731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

You have to go in Download session to see SP1 , it's not EValuation , and it's not listed in welcome page .

Best regards.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

Well I can’t find it
Bin right though SW web site No Joy

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

Hi, just looked and can't find it either. I'm fairly sure though that what you see is determined by the serial number that you enter. Therefore it may be possible that we don't all get to see the same thing.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

You can only see EV or RC service packs if you are in the early viability program.  If you're in the EV program the website automatically shows (by Serial number) what is available to you vs people not in the EV program.  If you really want to give SP 1.0 EV or RC a try then sign up for the Early Visability program at the SW website.  It only takes a couple of minutes and then you can download and install the SP.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

What does SP1 fix in SW05?

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

Right on rockguy. I wanted to say that.

Also: read the fine print. The key word is: "review and test".

The Early Visibility program provides you an opportunity to review and test a Service Pack before general release.

Bradley

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

And to add to Bradley's last post. Prior to Windows installer you had to uninstall the SW and reisntall SW with the new SP if the SP was changed in any after Pre-release of a the SP.

Now with Windows installer you don't have that added burden. You can simply run a patch that SW provides to those users that tested the SP prior to final release. With that patch it fixes the old beta SP and your done and ready to go.

Pro to having WI.

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

New updates from Microsoft today, but appears to have nothing to do with WI.  A patch from Microsoft is needed before SolidWorks will release SP 1 correct?

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

Talked to my VAR today the word is that SP1.1 will be out by the 11 Feb

The Plot Thickens

RE: SW2005 SP1.0

(OP)
Is that 11th in USA.

That would mean its the 12th here in little old New Zealand.
