Installation

When installing, the SW installer suggests installing it in the default folder “C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp”, and its Toolbox Browser in the default folder “C:\SOLIDWORKS Data”

You can specify another folder for installation, for example, select another drive “D:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp”, “D:\SOLIDWORKS Data” or a folder indicating the SW version – “D:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\v2025”, “D:\SOLIDWORKS Data\v2025”. The latter is useful if you want to install several SW versions on one computer.

After specifying the installation folder, the installer will start creating subfolders in the specified folder and copying program files there.
Depending on which modules you selected for installation, at least the “SOLIDWORKS” subfolder will be created, and possibly the following subfolders will be created:
SOLIDWORKS CAM
SOLIDWORKS Composer
SOLIDWORKS Electrical
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
SOLIDWORKS Inspection
SOLIDWORKS Manage Client
SOLIDWORKS Manage Server
SOLIDWORKS PDM
SOLIDWORKS Plastics
SOLIDWORKS Visualize
SOLIDWORKS Visualize Boost

And here is an important feature!

If for some reason the folder you specified for installation already contains directories with the same name, the installer will create copies of them with names that will have the copy number added (for example, “SOLIDWORKS (1)”) and will copy the program files to these new subfolders.

If after this you stupidly copy folders from the crowbar to the folder with the installed SW, they will be copied to the wrong place because the folders in the crowbar do not have numbers in their names – and as a result you will get a license error when starting

Hence the rule – no matter what folder you specify for installing SW, it must be EMPTY
