upgrade to SW office
(OP)
Hi, I installed SW 2005 a few weeks ago. I have updated to SP1.1
I just realised we actually own SW2005 with office and want to install that also.
-Can I just go and install over the top of the previous install to get office working?
-Or do I need to uninstall and re-install the complete package?
-Or something else ? (main concern is that the discs are SP0 and am currently running SP1.1 SW)

anyway all i really need to know just now is: should i install office (or office pro) just over the top; OR do i need to uninstall the original solidworks first?
RE: upgrade to SW office
So you better check with your VAR to insure that is what you have and you will probably have to do a clean install to get working correctly with the change in Bundles.

RE: upgrade to SW office
i *thought* it was just SW we purchased so i installed that. now i wanted to use edrawing pro. and was told i should have installed sw with office; as that is what they bought...
so your saying i HAVE to uninstall and re-install?
and whats this about professional office. i don't think it allows me to install that with our registration.
RE: upgrade to SW office
Our Reseller here is offering a free upgrade from SW Office to SW Office Professional before April 15. (because they are discontinuing the SolidWorks Office product).
RE: upgrade to SW office
But... as your installation is SP1.1 and your CD is probably SP0.0, I think you should rollback your installation to SP0.0 before modifying the installation.
Whell... it will probably mess your SW. So just do a clean install.

thank-you all for your input.

The only difference is the Reg. code. You may need to re-register your serial numbers to get the new reg. codes to run Office.
RE: upgrade to SW office
It all works fine now, even though PhotoWorks came from my CDs. (Weird--I didn't expect it to work so easily.)
Don't bother trying that if your serial number doesn't cover PhotoWorks and other Office products--it won't work and it's wrong to do.
