Installs fine. The problem come when the user tries to startSolidworks 2009 up after they have shut the computer down. Thereare GPO's that lock down the computer so I think Solidworks looksat the registry to see if it has ran for the first time. Doesanyone know what reg key it is looking for?

I am mildly obsessive about grouping, segregating andisolating files on my hard drive. Consequently I was striken by apoplexy when I asked regedit.exe todisplay the contents of folderHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Solidworks\Solidworks2009\ExtReferences. Is there a solution to ordering Solidwork's snakepit of files? SolidworksAdministration

Hey guys, I'm having some problems with the installation of SW 2019. The install button is greyed out and I can't begin the installation. Also It gives me an error message right when I click the setup file, I don't know if it has something to do with the grey button problem. Could you help me out?

Anybody running Solid State Disks in raid 0? Is theperformance gain worth the price? You can get 2 good size drivesfor about $400. Not to bad if the SW performance is better.

I wanted to start a new thread where we can collect some of the craziest messages that we get when working with solidworks. Please try to insert the image into the text using the insert image button. Also, try not to post here unless you have an image to contribute, so that there is not too much text in between each image. Anyone have the chinese one? SolidworksAdministration

If, like me, you find that your standard custom properties list, properties.txt, is empty or only has one item in it, replace it with this one to have the out-of-the box list of standard custom properties in your drop down list. Edit the file if you would like to customize your list. Charley Leonard SolidworksAdministration

Are these folders for reading or writing or both? What happens when the default location is blank/undefined? Is it the case that multiple folder entries will be searched forreading files from the top entry down? What about writing when multiple folder entries are specified? SolidworksAdministration

I use an Admin image to install SW across a network (7seats). The upgrade failed on the edrawings install. I got an errorthat I've attached with some "explanation". I was able to manuallyinstall the edrawings, but I don't want to do that for them all.

Out with the old (SW2012) in with the new (SW2015)! Working at a "remote" location, I helped upgrade a test workstation to see if the admin push worked. Everything was upgraded over the weekend and so far, so good. Everyone seems pleased with the newer release. SolidworksAdministration
