I'm currently using Windows Pro X64 on a Dell workstation. I'm having some stability issues and wanted to try installingboth the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Solidworks on this machine. I know the 32-bit version will run on a 64-bit machine, butcan I install both versions of Solidworks independently on the samemachine?

Theoretically it is possible, but I would not reccomend. Strange, unexplainable things happen. I would dualboot. One installation would have 32xSW, and the other wouldhave 64xSW.

  Sounds like the same thing that would happen if I went back in timeand encountered myself...
  
  I was halfway through the install when you replied, so I let itcontinue. It seems to be working fine. It was nice thatit kept all my settings. I'll write back if I have anyproblems.
