Unable to load 'cosworks.dll', when starting SW2008 SP3.0

List Thomas Mar 12, 2008 9:21 AM

After installing SolidWorks 2008 Premium SP3.0 and
starting SW2008, i got the error:

Unable to load 'cosworks.dll' (cosworks.dll kann nicht geladen werden ...)

when activating COSMOSWorks.

Can somebody help me?

I got something similar at one point - there was an error when upgrading SW Explorer to SP3.0, which caused the installation to stop - CW was not upgraded because it was after SW Explorer in the SP install order. I re-installed the upgrade and chose not to update SW Explorer. CW continued installation fine and your dll error went away.

So, I suggest re-installing the SP and choosing only CW. If that doesn't work, you could try a full reinstall of CW.

  I installed every Product (SW, eDrawings, SW Explorer, CM, CW) separately
  and COSMOSWorks before SW Explorer, but i got the same error.
  
  After a full reinstall of CW, the same error.
  
  So i try to install a older SP of CW.

    Thomas,
    before you roll back the pack, try registering this library using RegSvr.
