SW2007 SP4 file not found!!

NEXT!

Stuck at installing sw explorer sp4 because another error has appeared.

Internal Error 2756, shortcutpath

Same error either using the installation manager or the setup file direct.

WTF have they done with sw???

Same thing here...

Idiots.

Found it!

Sw explorer has to installed on the same drive as PDMworks.

Could that not be mentioned on the install??

Also why did the installation manager not know where PDMworks was installed?

Hmmmm....

Just to clarify, I have PDMworks on a Windows 2003 server, installing sw explorer on the server worked with no errors.

I don't have PDMworks installed and still get the error.

There is a work around. Go to add/remove programs, uninstall solidworks explorer 3.0, then run the sp4 installation program.

It works!

A note for people who have their toolbox on a server.

In the toolbox ini file, the last entry should show the server toolbox location. Example: \\2k3server\Solidworks Data

To get the install to work correctly you need to change this entry to point to local toolbox. Example:C:\Program Files\Common Files\Solidworks Data

After installing and BEFORE running solidworks, change the ini file entry back. The toolbox.ini file is found here: C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\Toolbox

Yup, I had the same problem/bug. Uninstalling SolidWorks Explorer from Add/Remove Programs worked for me.

I've seen several similar bugs from path errors. I guess SWX doesn't test their software on many different systems.
