Hello,
I'm installing SW2008 sp2 on OS win XP64bit from the DVD.
I got the attached error. The same occurs if I try to download and install the update SP5 from solidworks network.
Can someone help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Pasquale

Correct Answer
Uninstall the following programs:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Applications (VSTA)

This can generally be uninstalled using Add/Remove Programs. If it doesn't work, you can use the Microsoft Uninstaller utility
(msicuu2.exe) - it can be downloaded from Microsoft.

Once these files have been removed, reboot the computer and install SolidWorks (Using the Installation Manager - this will re-install the aforementioned programs.)
