Richard,
I haven't had a reply from my VAR yet re 03,04.05.
phoned them yesterday and the bu$$er has gone on holiday...not urgent but..
: {

there was an official issue with installing SW 2004sp 2.with SW 2003 aboard
that was resolved by installing by using the command line rather than the
installer - did you do that?? (that was what I did at the time). I seem to
remember that was also an instance where I had the error 2753.
my guess is that there are problems downstream from that for us because the
reg entries may not be set up exactly the same way that has been authored
for xpsp2 compatibility/sp5 migration OR that again there are cross
pollination issues for the installer.
I would surmise that multi installs wasn't allowed for or tested when
coded -(sigh)

in your case to get back to work you probably need to clean out the SW reg
entries after you uninstall for a truly fresh install....however you may
need to remove xpsp2 to load up early sp properly???... I really am not in a
position to answer.
This needs to come from SW.I suggest you get official help from your VAR.

- as an aside - there is a recent SW bulletin about rolling back sp with
xpsp2 that maybe you should be aware as well at this time if you haven't
seen it.

if you find out anything let us know.
regards
neil

sorry that should read : 'installing SW 2004 sp 2.1 with SW 2003 aboard'

Same XP Pro SP2 problem here--downloaded 'Windows Install Cleanup' from
Microsoft and deleted the SW2004 entry in 'Add-Remove Programs' control
panel applet. Then did a fresh install from the disks (SP0) and updated
directly to the desired SW2004 service pack (5.0). Windows installer
<-----GRRRR.

ok Gary!
so it works if you avoid the intermediate sps (esp. sp 2.1 no doubt...)
before I try this can you clarify for me/us that you have 03,04 and 05
installed.
thanks

Gary,
Can you post the link to the microsoft web page where I can download
this Windows Install Cleanup program.

All I can find on there web site is a update to XP SP2 to stop the
installer hanging up:

Overview
This update helps resolve an issue where Windows Installer running on
Windows XP Service Pack 2 stops responding when you install an update.
After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer

Thank you

I have found it, through a google search, searching on the microsoft
web site said no such program existed!

Here is the link:

Neil,

I've got SW2004 SP5.0 & SW2005 Sp0.1 installed now. I removed SW2001+ and
SW2003 a while back. SP 4.0-4.1-4.2 seem to have Installer problems for me,
and I've tried a couple of times. The trick is to avoid the intermediate
SP's. Not sure what value there is to go back (to buggy software) any way.
Installer seems to rarely roll back well as advertised, and is basically a
surefire headache.

I am having problems editing parts from within an assembly.

2004/SP5.0
Windows XP Professional SP1.0

Edit part in assembly, open a sketch on the part, select edges from
sub-assembly part and apply convert sketch entities, a dialogue box comes up
stating "sketch contains more than one open contour. If the sketch appears
to be one closed contour, it may actually be one or more overlapping open
contours. To attempt to merge these contours, click OK. Otherwise click
cancel". There are no open contours in my sketch.

Also, choosing extrude cut automatically decides for me the cut should be in
both directions.

Also, after clicking OK in dialogue box previously descried, all constrained
sketch segments loose their relationships and references to sub-assembly
part.

Has anyone else experienced what I am describing?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

thanks Gary,
because I have 03 also I might wait until I hear back from my VAR in the new
year what the Solidworks soln is (if they have one) just to make sure I have
the same generic problem as you with the ms installer - I have customised
toolbars in 04 I would like to avoid redoing if possible.
cheers
