At the Custom Setup page, enable Electrical 2D Client then disable PDF Creator. Click Next at the Welcome page, then select Modify at the Program Maintenance page. Browse to your installation file set, open the swelectric subfolder, then run SOLIDWORKS Electrical.msi.ģ. Note that you can install other SOLIDWORKS products at the same time by enabling them at the Product Selection page.Ģ. Uncheck the box for SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic and SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D (if available). Install SWE using the existing standalone installation guide for your version (found here), but make one change at the Product Selection page of the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager. Please contact Hawk Ridge Systems Technical Support if you are unsure or need assistance.ġ. Note that due to the number of methods and versions, there may be some issues or inaccuracies with these steps. Use the relevant section for your situation. The exact method will depend on whether you are installing or upgrading, and whether you are using a standalone or a client-server configuration. Use this guide if the PDFCre~1.cab file is blocked and/or removed from the file set. However, the PDFCre~1.cab file is still in the file set and is still required to install normally with the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager. Note that PDFCreator is not installed with SWE 2016 SP4 and later versions. These must be installed first using the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager. It also does not install the pre-requisite components required to run the SWE application (see full list here). The issue with the msi is that it does not install the SQL instance required to host the SWE databases. This installs SWE independently of the main SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager (which can still be used to install other SOLIDWORKS products) and allows PDFCreator to be excluded from the installation. The method to install SWE without PDFCreator requires you to use the SOLIDWORKS Electrical.msi file from the swelectric subfolder. See the attached PDF for a complete guide with images. In this scenario, the file set is missing the PDFCre~1.cab file in the swelectric subfolder. This guide details a method by which to install or upgrade SOLIDWORKS Electrical (SWE) when the PDFCreator pre-requisite is blocked by anti-virus software and removed from the installation file set.
