Hello,
While trying to install SolidWorks student design kit 2010-11, I had a very strange problem: the 'next' button in the setup wizard doesn't work!
What should I do?
What can be the reason causing this?
I am using a 64bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate.
thanks a lot,
Gershon.
Welcome to SW forums Gershon
There can be several reasons for it.
1 Check here for SolidWorks System Requirements
2 Then it can be a virus or the antivirus program itself. So run a virus check in your machine and then disable the antivirus (though it's not mandatory to disable it but there had been mixed experiences with enabling/disabling antivirus while installation).

Thank you Deepak for your answer,
I tried the following:
First, I checked the system requirements as you told me, and I noticed that the version that I'm trying to install should work, besides I have a friend with same version of OS that didn't have this problem. (Screen capture attached).
Then, I disabled the antivirus (witch is AVG antivirus btw), and tried to install again. when that didn't work I restored my computer to a previous restore point (using system restore) and tried all that again with administrative privileges.
And after all that, It stil doesn't work..
It's the weirdest problem that I ever had with computer program..
Thank you again,
Gershon.
Sorry for misreading the OS as home version.
One of the other reason can be the registration of a java file. Try following to set that up and then check the installation.
Thanks a lot Deepak!
I think that the problem indeed was with the java registration file. Just couple of minutes before I got your solution, I opened a new user account on my computer and tried to install SW from there. Right after I opened the file it told me that I need to update something with the java, so I did, and now the installation is processing from the other account.
Again, thank you for the help!
Gershon.
Hi,
I have the exact same problem as Gershon,
I tried doing your manipulation, opening CMD and imput that ###.dll, I got the succeeded msg and I tried opening the setup again but nothing changed, I still have the same problem.

Which browser you're using. Can you update that and try again.
I'm using Firefox, I've updated to Firefox 4.0,
Tried again and I got the same problem, should I update IE8 ?
Hey Olivier, you should try the following:
also Deepak's solution should work, another thing is just to open a new user for the installation.
just go to Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Manage Accounts -> Create a New Account. pay attention that your account must be an administrator account.
then, install from the new account SW regularly, and after that just delete your new account from your old one.
while you are doing this pay attention: Be sure not to delete by accident your old account with all your data, my suggestion to you is to give a different name to the new account, (for example "Temp" or "Delete me")
this worked at my system, and that is safe.
Good Luck,
Gershon.
