Install Problem

[Bester2]

I am trying to reinstall SW 2006 SP 0.0. The reason that I am doing that is when I started SW it would say that I was trying to install MathCad???? Any way I uninstalled SW then I tried to reinstall SW and when I put in disk 2 I get this error "can not find file c:\program files\bluebeam software\brewery\v4\printer support\win2000\bbpdfportmon.dll" I tried to navigate to that file but the bluebeam folder was empty? I also have AutoCrap (Opps I mean AutoCAD) on my computer. Not sure if that means anything but I saw where bluebeam was linked to AutoCAD. Anybody here of anything like this???

Thanks

Blue beam in SW06 was how PDF files were saved out in SW. They changed that in SW07... try looking on the SW knowledge base I bet its convered in there.

Have you used the SWCleanUninstall and SWSysClean utilities from the Technical Tips and Best Practices > Utilities section of the SolidWorks Customer Portal?


SW07-SP3

One problem I ran into, ACAD should be installed AFTER SolidWorks. For some reason when installing SW after ACAD, files get crossed and corrupted.

Probably because most people would want to get rid of ACAD as soon as they get hold of SW.


SW07-SP3

I would be one of them!

I tried everything that all of you mentioned and none of it worked. I was starting to get very frustrated. I was getting stuck at the same point each time so I decided to look at the CD. Low and behold there was a piece of something stuck on the CD. I removed the debris and SW installed perfectly. Thanks for all of the help but next time I will look at the most likely cause of the problem "operator head space and timing"

This should be part of a FAQ. "If all else fails, remove sticky thing from disc".
