Broken Pack-and-Go?
(OP)
I was having problems with SW Explorer. SW Explorer was having trouble finding all references for a file, sometimes not even finding a file that I could find manually.
I tried all kinds of things: monkeying w/ Windows indexer, writing API to replace search functions. Today I seem to have found the answer...
Under Windows (XP Professionall) Control Panel --> Add/ Remove Programs, select SW Explorer. There is a link named "Click here for support information", click it. Then, click the "Repair" button.
Took about 30 seconds, then all was well. Where-used and Pack-and-Go working as-advertised.

I wonder if that works for other ailments?

Include SolidWorks File Locations->Referenced Documents folders. Searches folders that you specify for Referenced Documents in the File Locations Options dialog box in the SolidWorks application.
You might want to also setup your paths in the search location as well...

I wonder if this is a Windows indexing issue. It seems to happen with network drives. Local drive = no problem.
It worked when I first started this gig. Stopped working right 2 months after I started.
