Installation Errors/Installation Cancelled

The installation has encountered an error or was cancelled.

If an error or cancellation occurs:
  • Products that installed before the error or cancellation remain on the computer.
  • The product that was being installed at the time of the cancellation is rolled back, if possible, so that there are no partial installations.
  • Remaining products are not installed or uninstalled. A list is provided under Not Yet Attempted.

    To resume installing or uninstalling these products, click the link provided.

SolidWorks Installation Manager first installs any prerequisites that are not installed on the computer, such as .NET framework. It then installs the selected products in this order:
  1. SolidWorks
  2. eDrawings
  3. SolidWorks Search
  4. SolidWorks Explorer/Workgroup PDM
  5. PhotoView 360
  6. SolidWorks Flow Simulation
  7. COSMOSM
  • Recovering from a Failed or Cancelled Installation
    If an error or cancellation occurs during installation, you can recover from that point by re-running the installation.
  • Repairing the Installation
    If an error or cancellation occurs during installation, you can use Windows Control Panel to repair the installation.
  • Contacting the SolidWorks Reseller
    If modifying or repairing the installation fails, contact your local SolidWorks reseller with the information gathered from this screen. You might also be asked to provide a zip file of SolidWorks Installation Manager log files.
