Error 1935 During Install of the Solidworks 2004

When I try to setup Solidworks 2004 I get by ~85 % installatin Error 1935
with number at the end -2147024894 and installation go in rolling back
action and deinstall just begining instalation.

 

Did you disable all anti-virus checking? Is this a first installation of SW
on the machine? If not, you may need to clean all the old stuff out.

In hex, the number -2147024894 corresponds to 0xFFFFFFFF80070002 which
is probably the low level Windows error code for what went wrong.
Typically, this error occurs when a file cannot be found. Your SW CD
may be corrupt.

I wish I could specifically address your question with a suggested
solution; however, it reminds me of how frustrating it is to be
presented with rather cryptic error messages during SolidWorks Windows
Installer failures.

If you happen to have a programmer's reference manual and can look up
the definition of "Error 1935", or any of the other similarly
meaningless ones, then it might make some sense.

Why can't the messages be written in terms that are easily understood
and useful to the average user?

Per:

If you see an error message like this, it typically means that their is
an error in the error handling code. When handling errors, it is common
to hand an error to code which lives in a layer somewhere above the
layer in which the error occurred. The thinking is that this upper
level code will have a better understanding of how to handle the error.
If an error bubbles up in this fashion, it is possible that nothing
has been provided to handle it at all. Applications often have a very
generic error handler in the topmost layer of the application which can
do little more than spit out the error code, because it has lost all the
context associated with the error. This is where such seemingly cryptic
error messages come from. It isn't that the code writers have purposely
generated such an obtuse message. Rather, they have forgotten to deal
with the error in a graceful manner and the last ditch error handler is
simply letting you know that something bad happened.
