Install fails because it says I need to have service pack 1. I am running service pack 1! Please help me install...

Please expand on your question.
1) Is this a fresh install of Win7
2) What version of SW are you installing, [year] [edu/std]

  Richard,
  
  First, I installed Windows 7 on a MacBook via bootcamp partition.
  
  Then, I downloaded program/setup for "SOLIDWORKS 2015 Student License Program" However, I could not initially complete the SOLIDWORKS install; There was an error message saying that I needed the Windows 7 SP1 or above...
  
  So, next, I successfully installed the Windows 7 SP1.
  
  Now, I have tried again to run Solidworks setup/install, several times. I even started from scratch and downloaded it all over again and I STILL get the same error message.
  
  I would greatly appreciate any help you may able to provide...
  
  Thanks
  
  Dennis

    Out of curiosity, is it Win7 Home or Pro? If it's the Home version, that may be your problem.
