I just installed WorkGroup PDM and filevault on my local machine (a couple months after I did a fresh install of SW2011), and the instalation seemed to go fine. However, the VaultAdmin program didn't seem to install with it. I attach a screenshot of my start menu - nothing there!
I am just learning about PDM, and i know that step 2 is using VaultAdmin to set up accounts, etc, but I don't seem to have that application.
Any suggestions?
The Admin tool is never installed by default. Go to Add / Remove programs (Uninstall a Program in Win 7) and Modify or Change the installation of SolidWorks. In the Installation Manager, it will ask what programs to install / modify, etc. Look for the admin tool and select it for installation and continue.
If you do separate installations each year for SW so that say both 2010 and 2011 are on your machine, when installing 2011, you will still need to tell it to install the Admin tool even if you had it installed for 2010.

I think I may have solved my own problem by reading another discussion.
VaultAdmin can be installed by clicking Add/Remove programs in the control panel of Windows. Find the SW instalation in that list, click it and then hit Change. This brings up the SW Instalation Manager, which let's you install VaultAdmin.
I'm guessing it wasn't installed as part of the WorkGroup PDM installation because not everyone who installes PDM will actually administer the vault.
