Load two versions Solidworks on one machine
Load two versions Solidworks on one machine
(OP)
I searched for an answer but do not have all day to search.
I am running SW 2007 SP4. I want to load and run SW 2008 SP 0.1 that I received last week. I know this is dooable. I want help in doing so without creating all kinds of "issues". I have received help from this forum before that was dead-on.
Any suggestions, cautions would be appreciated. I am curious about the new interface and functionality.

If yours is a networked install and you're using PDMWorks, use caution. SW will want to update the vault.

Thanks for the tip. I have a stand-alone machine. I believe I still need to isolate , Toolbox and Template files outside of of SW 2007 SP 4.0. Is this correct?
Thanks for the help.

Great advice. I have had several "computer" issues the past year resulting in the purchase of two new systems. This is my concern. Seems as though robustness is dwindling.

Its totally do able and its easy to do. Just follow the process of installing everything to a new directory and it will be fine.
