Installing SW Question
Installing SW Question
(OP)
Hi all,
I am trying to install SW 2001+ on my Win XP pro machine, and am having a bit of difficulty. I choose install SW, and the setup screen comes up, and the status bar goes, and stops about a quarter way up, and i get an error to the tune of
"cannot load dcom95.exe in some temp folder,
cyclic redundancy"
Not sure what this is about.... I cant try the windows installer installation as the second disc has grown legs and walked off into the sunset...
Any suggestions? Thanks in advnace!
the system specs are:
AMD athlon XP 1700+
768mb DDR PC2700
Nvidia FX5200 128mb AGP

on a side note, SW 2003 installs fine, but when i try to exit the program, its hangs for a bit, disappears, and gives an unhandled error. weird...
unfortunately my work has suspened the subscription services, for money reasons, and we cannot try out se4rvice packs. :( Looks like i'll ahve to convince them otherwise, if the SP's might help.

RE: Installing SW Question
I will try the steps outlined in the FAQ you've pointed out! Thanks.
RE: Installing SW Question
Any other suggestions? Unfortunatley the unhandled error message is a vague as could be, it just says, and unhandled error and no description at all.
Also if i get an SP from a friend in another company, will it work on my solidworks? I tried with one person, and the installation went fine, but when i try to run it, it says,
"this version of Solidworks has not been commisioned properly?
are these packs serial number specific now? they never used to be. Thanks for any suggestions.

"this version of Solidworks has not been commisioned properly.
perhaps the service pack checks somehow for a subcription validity? it installs fine, but then when starting the prog, i get that error, and it shuts down.
I feel if this is the case, then Solidwork is pretty greedy for money when u have to pay "more" for updates to obviously flawed software, when you've already shelled out quite a bit of money in the first place....just my .02 cents

Have you checked with the VAR that sold you SW03?

RE: Installing SW Question
I contected the reseller, and since the error is so vague, they say well we dont know what it might be.....try a service pack. :(

Have you remembered to turn off your antivirus software before you attempt to load SW?
