Deleting the old 2005 install
Deleting the old 2005 install
(OP)
Hi,
I have been using 2006 without too many problems so I would like to get rid of the old 2005 install. If I use windows remove program option will I lose any valuable information? Do I need to copy anything to the solidworks 2006 folder?

Otherwise it will not hurt you to remove SW05 while running SW 06.

RE: Deleting the old 2005 install
There is a way to do it manually though:
1) Run Copy setting wizard
2) Make the file - "sw05 settings.sldreg"
3) Rename the file to - "sw05 settings.reg"
4) Open the file up with Notepad
5) Make a global change from "SolidWorks 2005" to "SolidWorks 2006" - doing Edit\Replace
6) Save the file
7) Double click and run the file.
8) That will replace SW06 reg settings
