Rolling Back Service Packs

You can roll back to an earlier service pack. If you installed the SolidWorks software with disks, you need the original disks to roll back to an earlier service pack.

You can roll back service packs only within the same major SolidWorks release, and only if you have previously installed and saved the earlier service pack.

To restore an earlier service pack:

1. Insert the SolidWorks disk into the drive.

2. Double-click the service pack executable. An example file name is sw2007-1.0-2.0-i.exe.

3. In the unzip utility, unzip the executable.

5. In the SolidWorks Service Pack Manager Wizard, select Roll back to a previous version of SolidWorks.

6. Select a service pack from Please select the Service Pack to which you want to roll back, then click Next.

7. Insert the appropriate disks when prompted.

8. Click Finish when the rollback is complete.
