Rolling Back Service Packs in an Administrative Image
You can roll back an administrative image to an earlier installed service pack. If you installed the SolidWorks software with disks, you need the original disks to restore a service pack. You must have saved a copy of the earlier administrative image.
Administrative images that have been upgraded cannot be rolled back to a previous service pack. Administrative images created with any method other than SolidWorks Installation Manager cannot be rolled back to a previous version. Clients installed from these administrative images must be uninstalled and then reinstalled using an administrative image created from the previous version.
- Delete the folder that contains the current administrative image. To do this, open the Command Prompt window and enter:
rmdir /s/q path_to_current_administrative_image
- Move the backup copy of the administrative image to the location where you deleted the current administrative image. To do this, open the Command Prompt window and enter:
move path_to_backup_administrative_image path_to_current_administrative_image
After you roll back an administrative image, client computers roll back automatically the next time they run the SolidWorks software.
