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 the
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:
