After creating the administrative image and before notifying clients,
you must install Microsoft Windows components that cannot be installed by administrative images
created using the command line or Microsoft Active Directory.
Installing these Windows components manually is required only if you are
installing from an administrative image using the command line or through Microsoft Active
Directory. If you use SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager to create and install the administrative
image, these Windows components are installed automatically.
Here is a summary of the files required by SOLIDWORKS in the Windows
components:
| Windows Performance Toolkit: |
|
| Visual C++ 2008, 2010, and 2012 Redistributable
Package |
Contains runtime components for Microsoft
Visual C++. The 2008, 2010, and 2012 versions must be
installed.
|
| Visual Basic for Applications 7.1 |
Provides support for Visual Basic
macros. |
| Visual Studio Tools for Applications |
Contains a tool set supporting Visual Studio
applications. As of SOLIDWORKS 2013, installing Microsoft
Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) is optional. VSTA
is dependent on Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 being installed on your
computer.
For Windows 7 and later, .NET Framework is a
feature of the operating system.
If you need to install
.NET Framework 3.5, it is available on your Windows media and on the internet.
If you cannot locate your Windows media, do not have an internet connection, or
do not have permission to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on your computer,
contact your Administrator for assistance.
|
| Visual Studio Remote Debugger |
Provides a debugging environment for 64-bit
operating systems. |
| .NET Framework 4.5.2 |
Contains the common language runtime and .NET
Framework components that are necessary to run .NET Framework 4.5.2
applications. |
| Bonjour service for Windows |
Provides the ability to discover services on a
local area network. |
Visual C++ Redistributable Package and .NET Framework 4.5.2 are
required for all SOLIDWORKS products, not just the core SOLIDWORKS product.
These components must be included in subdirectories of the administrative
image directory.
The following tables identify the specific files that are required for each
