SW2005 SP5.0 is out

Anyone know how to find out what has changed or been fixed?

I checked the fixed SPR's but SP5.0 was not listed.

 

I got the message about this SP this morning when starting up SW ...
However the website does not have 2005 SP5.0 on the download list.

 

It apparently does now.. That is where I saw it.

 

??? I just downloaded it! ???

This is the EV release. Not everybody can download it. You have to sign
up on the SW website.

The SPRs are listed under next release. There are two general and about
3 dozen under all SPRs.

 

The full 5.0 is there, not just the ev. I just looked and it gave me the
option to upgrade from 5.0ev.

No TOP the EV was out a while back this is the "official" release.
It's right there under downloads!

On attempting to upgrade from 5.0EV to 5.0 after about 5mins with the
"Gathering required information" window I get "Internal error 2725" and
can proceed no further!

I have switched off virus checking and every other piece of software,
rebooted several times but still get this error.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I have reported this to the evis email address, my VAR and the
SolidWorks forum.

I'm about to go postal with SolidWorks over this.

On advice from my VAR I'm currently rolling back to 4.0 and will then
try to upgrade.

FYI
Rolling back goes back to SP0.0 and then sequentially installs all SP's
up to that which you want to roll back to. I wish I new this before I
started because---
my installed SP are as follows
SP0.0 to SP1.0ev
SP1.0ev to SP1.0
SP1.0 to SP 2.0
SP2.0 to SP 3.0
SP3.0 to SP 3.1eV
SP3.1ev to SP3.1
SP3.1 to SP4.Oev
SP4.0ev to SP4.0

SO I'M STILL ROLLING BACK 1 HOUR LATER AND HAVING TO INSERT DISKS 1 THRU
3 FOR EVERY ------ SINGLE DAMN SERVICE PACK. I'm too chicken to stop
because I need to get some work done today despite
SolidWorks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In future, I suggest others roll back to SP0.0 then upgrade from there.
This has been a mind numbingly insane waste of my day!

Note in past releases I have not bothered with EV's but, this time I
have been desperate for the "fixes".

I will not be running SolidWorks 2006 for production until SP5.0. Good
luck to everyone else.

Ahhhhh that feels better, just venting my safety valve.

3hours later it worked, I now can start work for the day.

 

I'll do that right now!

I find it interesting that I could update from SP4.0 but not SP5.0EV and
when rolling back it rolls back to 0.0 then installs all SP's sequentially.

Makes me think I should roll back to SP0.0 and then install service
Packs--- because there appears to be difference in the updates.
