Hi All,

I have Install SOLIDWORKS Inspection standalone 2017 or 2018 on my system. But i have used only latest version of SOLIDWORKS Inspection. If i am click on SOLIDWORKS Inspection 2017, then open 2018 version.

I have tried to clean Installation of SOLIDWORKS. Reinstall OS. But this comes every times.

I have tested this issue on three machines.

Can anyone seen this issue...?

Regards,

Gaurav

I was also facing the same issue, but i have found a workaround follow the below steps:
1. Go to installation directory (C -> Program Files -> SOLIDWORKS Corp).
2. Rename the folder "SOLIDWORKS Inspection" to something else (SOLIDWORKS Inspection_20xx)
3. Install new Solidworks inspection version
4. You will see that there is new Folder named "SOLIDWORKS Inspection" (Also rename this folder)
5. Delete the shortcuts already present on desktop and place the shortcuts from respective installation directory

Happy to help
Sumit

  Hi Mr. Rana,
  
  Your workaround has helpful to me, but there is a problem now with SOLIDWORKS Inspection Add-in.
  
  The add-in is showing in the add-in tab but it's not activating.
  
  Thanks & Regards,
  Gaurav

    Hi Gaurav,
    I forgot to reply on this thread, hope you already solved the problem but let me give the solution for other users if they are facing the same issue,
    go to the setup directory -> browse for inspection folder -> run the setup.exe (right click and Run as administrator) -> and go through the instructions.
    
    Happy to help
