Wow! I literally just checked it a few minutes ago and it wasn't there! Look
at below!

 

Ok, who's first? This time all the rest of you try it and let me know.
I checked for it this morning and it wasn't there.

Get it before its gone!

Step right up folks. Pick the time that I finish installing this SP and win
a prize. Closest pick wins a "SolidWorks Slowdowns and Crashes - IT'S YOUR
FAULT" PowerPoint presentation suitable for user group sessions, company
training, or wallpaper. Barring any unforeseen bandwidth problems, the
downloading will commence when my kids are in bed (8:00pm CST). Choose the
hour/minute/second that you think I will finish - closest time without going
over wins.

There is nothing in the "Service Pack SPR's Fixed List" about 2.1

 

Often it takes a little while for that to come up on the Web site.
Sometimes it's even a couple of days. I imagine that's something they
(SolidWorks) figure they can do when they get a round Tuit, and it's
better to have the SP out there where people can download it (rather
than waiting). I'm not sure that's always best, but it's not entirely
illogical.

why dose it take so long to install 59 mins to install from sp2.0 to 2.1

I'm guinea pigging it right now....

Just so you know, I flew back from SW World in Boston, and my flight went to
Atlanta. Flying time was 2hrs. 20 minutes according to the pilot. Quick math
using equations give an answer of 140 minutes or so. First click out of my
sp2.1 install, was 169 minutes.

So if you are flying from Boston to Atlanta, that would be a GREAT time to
install this upgrade. Ohhh, don't forget the extension cord, because the
plane doesn't have one.

Let's see, how does that commercial go? Oh yeah, blah blah blah, Getting
paid to install the 2.1 upgrade...priceless

"The installer cannot install the upgrade patch because the program
being upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch updates a different
version of the program. Verify that the program exists on your computer
and that you have the correct upgrade patch (1642-0)"

Thanks for the informative error message. I guess I'll just reinstall
and hope for the best.

I curse every individual here who requested the ability to roll back to
a previous service pack. A pox upon you all.

Same here, its tripping over previous versions (unlike the sp0 to sp1
upgrade), see post install woes.

I got the same thing this morning when I tried "upgrading" 2.0
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why must you torture me!?!?!?!?!?!?! Why!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

I'm sure it installed smoothly for matt. You must doing something wrong.
It couldn't be Solidworks. It's usually user error. Please reformat your
hard drive, reinstall Solidworks 2001, uninstall, reinstall 2001+,
uninstall, reinstall 2003 up to SP5.1, uninstall, reinstall 2004 SP0.0,
SP1.0, SP2.0 no wait don't do that, then reinstall SP2.1.

If that doesn't work you should switch to a different cad system because
apparently *you* aren't good enough for Solidworks. It can sense that you
know.

I'm new to SW, but with all this crap I'm going back to Pro/E

 

You know what's really funny...

I've got work to do! I guess the joke is on me. Thanks SolidWorks! You guys
are the greatest!

 

LOL. Now *that* made me laugh

- Eddy

 

Are you are a glutton for the enjoyment of installers?

Think I'll stay with 2001+ & 2003 SP5 for now and let you endure the
installs. Got work to get out this afternoon.
