I had some time yesterday so I upgraded an evaluation machine from SP2.2 to 3.0. Installation went well - everything installed ok and no errors generated.
First time SW started up I get an HTML error dialog box telling me I have an internet explorer script error. Further reading shows me that there is a type mismatch to the URL: file:// C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\data\search\search.html Then asks if you want to continue running the script.
Reading the SW Release notes tells me that they are using new MS Search code in 3.0 that is no longer compatible with 2.2. They give you instructions to follow on how to copy and then register a new .dll. Gives you instructions on how to refresh search but I cannot get option to appear when touching the Red SW Search button located in the top right corner.
After doing all this my machine hangs up every time I try to start MS Explorer. Alt-Ctr-Del results in 20-40% of my process being consumed by the WindowsSearchFilter.exe of which I have 3-4 copies running (unknown to me). System hangs need to log off.
Presently I cannot use my machine (its not in production environment)
How do I turn this "feature" off. Seems to cause no end of problems. Does anyone use it?
Just blowing off steam so somebody else doesn't have to.
