From: billyb on 5 Jun 2006 06:42 I tried loading 2005 SW and got the error message "The database file C:\Program Files\Common File\Solidworks Data\lang\english\swbrowser.mdb" is not the expected version (9.02). This comes up when I try to used hole wizard. I did have other versions, i.e. SW 2006,04,02 on my computer at times. These are not on the computer anymore. How can I solve this problem? Help is appreciated.
From: Mr. Who on 5 Jun 2006 11:45 Try add/remove programs and modify. Make sure you have toolbox added in under the customize section. if it is already added then try a repair or remove toolbox and then add it back. Hopefully this will repair the incorrect toolbox file. billyb wrote: > I tried loading 2005 SW and got the error message "The database file > C:\Program Files\Common File\Solidworks > Data\lang\english\swbrowser.mdb" is not the expected version (9.02). > This comes up when I try to used hole wizard. > > I did have other versions, i.e. SW 2006,04,02 on my computer at times. > These are not on the computer anymore. > > How can I solve this problem?

Help is appreciated. You can 'hack' the SWBrowser.mdb file if you want. Open it in Access and go to the table called Version. There is a field called CurrentVersion. Change the value to whatever value the error message says. Re-save the MDB file and you're done. You may need to restart SW though. Regards Martin
From: Mr. Who on 5 Jun 2006 12:54 Manually editing SolidWorks data files seems like a really bad idea. Was this fix endorsed by SW? wurz wrote: > billyb wrote: > > I tried loading 2005 SW and got the error message "The database file > > C:\Program Files\Common File\Solidworks > > Data\lang\english\swbrowser.mdb" is not the expected version (9.02). > > This comes up when I try to used hole wizard. > > > > I did have other versions, i.e. SW 2006,04,02 on my computer at times. > > These are not on the computer anymore. > > > > How can I solve this problem?
