    Using the installation manager to install sp4.
    Asks for disk 4 and then errors 1311 Source not found: D:\swwi\data\TB3.cab.

    Could this be because that file does not exist on the cd4 or any other cd?,
    lol

    Sigh!

    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???

    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.

    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.

    The cause of this is currently unknown and is under investigation.
    The work around is to remove SolidWorks Explorer from Add/Remove
    programs then re-download and reinstall from
    http://www.solidworks.com/pages/services/downloads.html. SolidWorks
    Explorer is a free product so logging in is not necessary.
