Just installed 2008 sp0.1 from an admin image but the help
files are missing. Anyone else see this? I see the files on the
admin image but they are nowhere to be found on my c drive.
This is the command line I'm using. Its pretty much the same as the one I used for 2007.
msiexec /i English_i386_SolidWorks.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\SolidWorks%SWXVER%" SOLIDWORKSSERIALNUMBER="XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX" ENABLEPERFORMANCE=0 INSTALLWDS=0 ADDLOCAL=English,SolidWorks,SampleFiles,Manuals,RealViewGraphicsdisplay,InstantWebsite,FeatureWorks,PhotoWorksRender,SolidWorksAnimator,SolidWorksDesignChecker,SolidWorksTaskScheduler,SolidWorksUtilities,Intel_Modules_AgeiaX86 SERVERLIST=25734@mdcapp47 /passive /norestart

- Once from an image created the old way 0.0
- The other image (1.1) was careated via install mgr - yes I actually was able to create an image!! I can't even guess how much time (days) I have spent with that #@!##$ install mgr. That app/util needs some ahem....serious work.
I got the help file to install correctly by adding HelpFiles_English to the ADDLOCAL= property.
I personally only tried editing the MST directly using a program called Orca (free from MS) but I imagine that it would work from the command line as well. Can anyone post their results with the other installation methods?
HTH,

Turns out, from what I can see, that adding "HelpFiles" to your AddLocal command will install all of the help files for all features for your current language.
"HelpFiles_English" is part of a series of switches to install PART of the help files, in english. That option will only install the SoildWorks HelpFiles, from what I can see.
There is also "FWHelpFiles_English" and "PWHelpFiles_English" (FeatureWorks and PhotoWorks, respectively) so I think that you could either specify all of the individual help files that way, or just sepcify them all with the "HelpFiles" addition to the AddLocal command.
Hope this helps,
Glenn
I'm quickposting, and don't know the code to make a weblink, but here's the KB Article:

It's not intuitive, but as long as you just poke around and don't save, you should be OK to look around.

OT: can you edit the original post, and break up the ADDLOCAL string into multiple lines? It really screws up the forum when there is that long of a string with no spaces...
