Installing 2006 SP3 -cannot access file d:.....works.msi error

Hi All

Has anybody had a problem installing SP3? Thats SP 1.0 to SP3.0

The wizard asks for CD#1 then says "The wizard cannot access file: D:\swwi\....\English_i386_Solidworks.msi" What am I doing wrong? The requested file is available on the CD, I've tried copying it to the harddisk with the same result. I've upgraded the OS to XP Pro SP2 I've tried SW SP 3.1

Some help would be appreciated

I just upgraded today without problem. Did you upgrade the OS between SP1 and SP3?

I have had this happen to me several times dating back a 2 or 3 releases. The only way I could fix it was to uninstall SolidWorks clean the registry of all SolidWorks references and re-install.

I hope you can find a less drastic solution, if so please share it.

Thanks for your assistance.

While I was preparing my initial email I allowed the wizard to stay active and low and behold when I had shut down the news service I noticed the wizard had progressed

thanks again John

ps still don't know the cause of the problem.
