Just recently I uninstalled v2005, and installed v2006 of Solidworks, and when I cleaned the Registry of v2005, I think I deleted a couple of Registry Keys or maybe permission files. When I invoke Solidworks 2006, I now get a message that reads..."Failed to update System Registry, please try using Regedit". I simply click OK a couple of times, and it proceeds to install normally.
I saw in another Forum where another person had the very same problem, and it was recommended to him to try to use the "Repair" function of the install disk. I did try it, but it did not work. My suspicion is that the repair function has no control over the Registry, which of course is part of Windows XP, and I am now contemplating re-installing Windows XP. Before I do this and get myself into more trouble, does someone by any chance know the correct procedure to replace the files that I have either deleted by mistake, or toggle back on again, what I have, in my dumbness, toggled off?
I would appreciate your help on this,
Ben Alba
