(OP)
Whenever I want to insert anything using Smart Fasteners, I get the following error:
Error: The database file 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Solidworks Data\lang\english\swbrowser.mdb' is not the expected version (8,6).
Any suggestions?

RE: What's this all about?
- Make a backup copy of swBrowser.mdb (i.e. swBrowser.mdb.old). That way, you can always go back
- Open the swBrowser.mdb file.
- There is a table called 'VERSION' in the database, open it and change the value in the CurrentVersion column to the version that SW expects to see.
I would suggest trying 8.5 to see if that works. If not, try 8.4, 8.3 etc...
I had this problem when applying a service pack to 2004 aswell. This seemed to fix it OK.

RE: What's this all about?
Could you please elaborate on why SW would not support this?
BTW, this solution was arrived at by working in conjunction with my VAR.
