I am currently running SW 2008 SP5 on a Windows XP machine. I attempted to install this software, via the internet, onto a Windows 7 Professional machine. The installation manager is telling me that the source code is not available to download. Is it possible to get this software on a DVD? Please don't tell me that I must purchase a newer version of Solid Works. Thanks.

I'm a bit curious about your statement "via the internet". It has to be hard to find that old version. Don't you have your install dvd/cd from 2008? Even if you could, I doubt that the 2008 version will run on Win7. I don't think it was until closer to 2010 that it was qualified for it.
