SP install bugs
SP install bugs
(OP)
I've been getting crashes in SolidWorks lately--finally decided to go from SP2 to SP4. No go. Finally got everything to download, but I now get the following error after it reads disk 1 for a while:

RE: SP install bugs
I even totally wiped SW fromt the machine, cleaned the registry and tried installing from 0 and it wouldn't work. I had to do a roll back (restore)of the entire machine to a state when SW was installed an working to get the software back.
SW's final suggestion to me was a reformat of the hardrive and total re-install of the OS. In my mind this is not a good solution.
Good luck.

Maybe the next step is to call my VAR. I seem to get errors/bugs only when I've used up a fair amount of RAM--then weird things happen, like program hangs, non-display of the viewport, "failure to save", etc. with assemblies. But I've been up in this range of RAM usage before without these issues--seems like something became corrupted. (I've 3GB of RAM, using the /3GB switch.)

Do you not have the DVD versus CDs? I realize that I'm probably grasping at straws here, but perhaps that would work? Maybe your VAR could get you an SP4.0 DVD to replace your CDs...just a thought.

I forgot this in the first post but one of the machines finally allowed me load the software if I logged on as a different user, even though both users were administrators.

Hey, I got the SW (core) part of the install to work with the DVD. Now working on the other bits. Might be almost there. ..

If I understand you, the installation was aborted by an error during the process.
I have had a similar error (in another release of SW). A "normal" unistall and reinstall with "normal" registry cleaning didn't work. After several atempts, where is what I've done:
- uninstall SW
- deep cleaning of registry cleaning (all SW keys I could find were deleted)
- new install with latest SP
It was a success.
Good Luck
