Solidworks 2008 Viewer Error

Solidworks 2008 Viewer Error

Solidworks 2008 Viewer Error

(OP)
I finally convinced everyone at my job to jump to SW2008.  A word of caution: make sure your hardware is up to date.  It definitely exposed the weaknesses in our setups.

With the drawing files now converted to 2008, our older viewers on non-SW machines had to be updated.  We installed 2008 Viewer on all XP machines that may need access to the slddrw files.  

When I run 2008 Viewer and go to open a file, I get this error:

msxml2::DOMDocument

It is followed by another error regarding "visual c++" after clicking 'ok'.

Anyone run into this or have a solution?


Thanks in advance,

Michael

RE: Solidworks 2008 Viewer Error

We use edrawings for our viewer. It has eleminated some of the issues we ran into with the regular viewer it works much better imo. Also with edrawings we did not have to update all of the operating systems on computers that were not used for SolidWorks.

That did the trick.

I'm not sure why the viewer downloaded from the SW website would not install these automatically, but I thank you no less.
