SolidWorks is not longer installed after updating to SP4?????

SolidWorks is not longer installed after updating to SP4?????

(OP)
I just updated the installation of SW2003 on my new computer to SP4.  Now when I try to start SW I get an error that says,

"This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

What gives?  All the necessary files appear to be where they're supposed to be.  I was certain to close down all running programs including the antivirus program when installing.  Has anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks,

Tim

Well, it turns out that all the shortcuts got screwed up, leaving the "Target" and "Start Directory" blank.  I had to create all new shortcuts.  That's really strange - I've been doing SP updates since 1996 and have never had that happen.
