Is anyone having any issues downloading SolidWorks 2019 SP0?
I am having issues with the following two files.
I have tried the full download twice
I have also tried the option to manually download files several times. When the two files above are downloaded manually the installation manager gives an error message that some files were not able to be extracted.

Hi,
I have had no issues with downloading 2019 in fact it was probably the quickest updated version download I can remember.
Sorry to hear about your issues I usually find the initial download is ok but when I start to download the Service Packs that's when I start to get the issues you've described. Is it clean install (have you uninstalled the pervious version)?
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark
Thanks for confirming you had no issues.
I am using the download only option to download the files. I may try doing a direct install on the chance that the failing files are not needed for our configuration. I don't hold out much hope on this as by the name of the files they look like part of the base install but' it's probably worth a try.

No problem Alastair,
Hope it goes well.

I have no issues but I use "recommended option" rather than manual.
Hi Alastair,
Worst case scenario, request a copy of the release on USB stick or DVD from your VAR if the problem persists.

We have all sorts of problems downloading updates from Solidworks. This is related to our firewall (we believe). Our VAR has a download location allowing their customers to download files directly and then install them. Maybe your VAR has something similar.
Hi Alastair,
One other option you can try is to download the files outside of the Installation Manager. This is something new for 2019.
The instructions link explains the process, but you basically just need to download both zips and extract them to the same folder. This will be your 2019 SP0 "source" for your installation and it can substitute for a 2019 SP0 DVD installation. Double-click the setup.exe in that folder to launch the install. Keep this folder on your hard drive or another location in case you need it for other installs, repairs, or modifications.

Thanks for the confirmations and suggestions everyone.
Bryan Nathan I also believe that it is most likely an issue with our firewall.
I have been able to downloaded the media files as suggested by Jeff Niederman.
