Updating Help
(OP)
I just updated to 2005 sp3. SW site said to also get the new help files. I unzipped them, but now what? Should I unzip them in a particular way so they find their proper places, or do I just need to find the old equivalents and manually move them? I see nothing on the site about how to "install" these files.

It will ask if you want to overwrite existing files. Choose Yes. That's it.

I've had success unzipping directly into my root installation directory. It found the files and replaced them by unzipping into the root.

Looks like your right. I searched for the files that were unzipped from “swHelpEnglish.zip”. They were in “C:\Program Files\SolidWorks”.
I did an unzip and they all went to the right places. Some went to C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\lang\english. I did a yes to replace.
“C:\Program Files\SolidWorks” is a better directory to unzip too.
A star for you.
Thank you again.

I think they should turn this into a winzip Executable and I voiced that opinion to them.... ER guys turn that in if you want it to be more automatic, since everything else is.
