#Solidworks 2015 download not working full#
It may indicate that the full 5GB service pack must be downloaded again as none of the existing files are on your local drive.
These will be saved to your local drive as the DVD is not writable. Installation of SolidWorks is not required on the system downloading the files, aside from the installation manager itself which has a very small installation footprint (Under 100MB).Īs an additional note, if you are installing from a DVD and files are missing, the Installation Manager will automatically download the required files. You may be able to use this machine to download. If you are still having difficulties downloading, see if your workplace has a dedicated machine with open access to the internet that bypasses the proxy server. If a proxy server changes IP addresses randomly for security reasons, this will prevent a download connection from being maintained and the download will not commence. Some download issues may be caused by IP randomization, a common security practice performed by proxy servers. Please try the following solutions to allow for proper downloading.ġ) Make sure you are logged into the computer with administrative privileges.Ģ) Allow outbound TCP connection to port 80 in the firewall for “sldim.exe” and “sldimdownloader.exe” (C:\Program Files\Common Files\SolidWorks Installation Manager).ģ) Allow full access (in the firewall and/or proxy server may need your IT’s help here) to the following sites which the Installation Manager connects to for downloading: im.,, (*.solidworks can be specified to include all sites).Ĥ) Un-check the Installation Manager option “Speed up downloads by using more network bandwidth”. In some instances, the security settings can prevent this process from taking place. With the downloaded fileset residing on a server or burned to a DVD, you can then use them to distribute the service pack as needed. The set of files required for the entire installation process is usually around 5.5 GB and service packs are released 4 to 5 times a year.
If bandwidth is a concern, you should only need to download the entire installation fileset once per service pack, and then share it among the user base in your organization. The SolidWorks Installation Manager provides an automated method to download all required installation files to a single folder. In order to provide the latest available service packs and current media to customers, SolidWorks has introduced the SolidWorks Installation Manager.
