The SolidWorks Installation Manager is a standalone application that installs and updates your SolidWorks products.
You can run the Installation Manager:
- From a SolidWorks DVD or a shared source or download folder (when installing a new version)
- From the Control Panel Add or Remove Programs page (when modifying or removing an existing version)
- Through a scheduled or manual update check (when detecting, downloading, and installing new release versions)
Each version of SolidWorks has an Installation Manager specific to that version.
For versions prior to SolidWorks 2008, use the SolidWorks 2007
Installation Manager or download product versions manually from the SolidWorks Support Web site.
