Today's SWAG is that your virus software is preventing the install.

Would be nice if anyone has a solution.

Hi i have the same problem Vbai 60 init fail problem during solidworks2001 installetion can someone help me?

 

I'm having another problem with SolidWorks 2000 and XP. I get an error message: "Could not load Solidworks DLL: slduiu.dll" I had an upgrade version of XP (SW ran fine this way), but I had to do a full XP reinstall when my computer crashed. I've also reinstalled SW, only to get the same error message. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jack

Try and find the slduiu.dll file on the install CD. Copy it to you solidworks directory and your windows directory - just to be sure the path finds it. The file may be in windows compressed form as slduiu.d__. Use windows extract command to restore it.

Hi,
I tried to install SolidWorks 2001 and SolidWorks 2001Plus and in both installations I do get the message VBAI160 Init fail:536870914.
If anybody find a solution to this problem, please let me know.

Solidworks 2000 is not supported for WinXP.

WinXP support starts at SW2001 SP5.

If SW was there before you upgraded to WinXp (for whatever reason that was)you would never see the warnings.

I installed 2001 at home on WinXp and had the incompatability warning until I also installed the service paks. SW2001 SP13 works great on WinXP in my case.

When you install Solidworks, you are offered two methods of installing: Standard installer and Windows installer. USE THE WINDOWS INSTALLER!! My Solidworks 2001+ had similar problems with .DLL files until I reinstalled it using the Solidworks Windows installer instead of the standard Solidworks installer. The Windows installer is slower, but it solved all of my problems. Most people (like me) just blindly click the top-most icon (standard install) in the install window without additional thought. After two weeks of problems I finally noticed the Windows installer and it worked great.

 

I had the same problem -( for a scary moment )
I solved it when I put the changed default language in the control panel regional settings back to English US ...

The Solution for the VBAI60-Problem!!!!!!!!!!

In the VBA directory is only the vba6.msi. But this one is only US english OS. If you use a different language OS the installer tries to start a different vba60xx.msi. For example the spain version is called vba60es.msi (es for espania). Just make a copy of the vba60.msi in the same directory and rename ist to your language.

Here is the list of some languages and the needed filenames:
-Spain vba60es.msi
-Germany vba60de.msi
-Japan vba60jp.msi
-France vba60fr.msi
... and so on

How do I know this... There is one file in the setup which calls those files. If you look through the files (searching for string vba60) you will find all language codes...

So long

You are a genius!!!!!
It worked!!!
Thanks

One thing you probably have to rename the "ENGLISH" subdirectories to the language you have
for example in spanish you rename the vba.msi to vbaes.msi and (after installing Solidworks) rename the subdirectories. Get the patches (sw2001*.exe, just find them)

Excellent Blub! I hope you eventually join this forum to share your knowledge.
This particular problem should have been answered a long time ago by SW themselves. BBJT CSWP
