Installation FAQs

I think I mentioned this before - perhaps in another topic.
Unless I'm mistaken, the SW Student edition lags behind the commercial edition. A bit like buying bread - If you want today's bread, come tomorrow.
So use your serial number to install SW 2020 (instead of 2021).
Let us know how it goes.

Hello and thanks for the info. I am fine with SW 2020. It took a second to realize I needed to go back to https://www.solidworks.com/sw/education/SDL_form.html to be able to select the 2020 option. Thanks for your help!

How long does it typically take for the EAA serial number? I submitted my request via the EAA website a couple of days ago and have not gotten anything. I checked my spam folder.

Oddly, the page says "Please fill out the form to access 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers at a 50% discount".

So I have had it installed for a year and a half now but for some reason when I try I get a System Error "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. I've attempted to modify and install the files I was missing but I keep getting that error. I then tried repair and I get "Internal Error: The Windows Installer for this product component did not run as exprected: INSTALL." It then tells me to contact technical support but I don't think we get tech support on the edu sooooo I'm kinda stuck here hoping someone has a clue. My version is good until Dec of this year.

Figured it out. Was a driver error. Updated latest windows and Nividia Driver. Dang Quadros are finicky.

I have not been able to find a link and instructions to download Solidworks. I sent an email to contact EAA and received this information: CSE: 4SX3J2, TKT: ocfRa0 and this link: http://www.eaa.org/solidworks which does not have links or instructions. SOLIDWORKS Info 2019.pdf I'm not sure how to proceed.

Hi John,

The new access instructions for SOLIDWORKS can be found here - https://www.eaa.org/eaa/eaa-membersh...-software-form

Once you fill out the form, you will be able to download a PDF with the instructions.

I hope this helps.

Thanks!
David

The hyperlinks in the pdf did not work for me. (There were no links)
