Rolling Solidworks back to earlier service pack
Rolling Solidworks back to earlier service pack
(OP)
I have tried searching for this topic and had no results. So I will pose the question instead.
I need to roll back our version of Solidworks from 2005 SP 3 to 2005 SP 1.1 on our test machine. How can I do this?

I personally don't trust it, so I prefer CBL's way. If you know what you are doing, a clean reinstall or just a reinstall will not take that long and will probably be as fast, if not faster then a Rollback.

I will take the uninstall and reinstall route just to be on the safe side. I want to make sure that I get a clean install since I will be testing it along with Smarteam. The version of Smarteam that we want to upgrade to does not get along with anything after SP1.1.
Thanks again.

Rolling back a SP never worked for me. It can be a nightmare! Last time I've done it, I loose 2 days trying to recover the SW installation.
It reached a phase that would not possible to uninstall, it didn't accept a new installation and the SP information was all mixed up.
Only after deep registry manipulation (and fingers crossed) I was able to make a fresh install.
Never again!
So, my advice is to uninstall SW and reinstall with the required SP. It will be faster than hours of installation recovery.
Regards
