Repairing an Installation

    For earlier versions of Windows, click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

  2. Select the SolidWorks version you wish to repair and click Change.
  3. On the Welcome to SolidWorks Installation Manager screen, click Repair the individual installation (on this computer).
  4. On the Products to Repair screen, select the product to repair.
  5. Clear the rest of the products on the screen.
  6. Click Repair.
