I just uninstal SW 08 thru conrol panel, then installed 09. I
am having trouble trying to add SP1. I am thinking I need to do a
clean un install of 09 and re install it. So, how do I do a clean
install?
then delete the registry keys for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks
then delete any Directories associated with Solidworks like:
C:\SolidWorks Data
C:\SolidWorks Downloads
C:\SWDist
C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp
etc...
Caution you dont have to delete the directories but if you do you
could lose any customized settings you might have made. Deleting
these just insures clean install file references.
