8/8/2019 Solid Works 2009 English Installation Guide

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/solid-works-2009-english-installation-guide 1/14

Before we start, be aware that this guide assumes two things: 1.) You are installing this

program on a 32 bit operating system. 2.) You do not have a previous version of SolidWorks

installed on your computer. This guide is basically noob proof right now, but if you are

installing on a 64 bit system or have a previous version of SolidWorks installed there may be

some small differences which you will have to work through. I recommend uninstalling anyprevious version of SolidWorks before installing this version. I know for a fact that if you had

hacked versions of SolidWorks 2008 with COSMOS, all of the COSMOS functions will not be

available in SolidWorks 2009 unless you uninstall the older version first. Let’s move on…

1. DISABLE YOUR INTERNET! UNPLUG YOUR LAN LINE, UNPLUG YOUR MODEM, DISABLE

IN WINDOWS, DO SOMETHING, JUST MAKE SURE IT IS OFF!

2. Mount the 64 bit SolidWorks 2009 ISO file using Power ISO or a similar tool.

Alternatively you can also burn the image to using Nero or whatever burning software you

prefer. YOU CAN ONLY USE THE 64 BIT VERIONS OF SOLIDWORKS 2009 ON A 64 BIT

OPERATING SYSTEM.

3. Once you mount the ISO image of your choosing or insert the disc you have created

from the ISO image of your choosing, the SolidWorks 2009 Installation Manager will

automatically start. If it does not automatically start simply double click on the virtual drivethat has the ISO image mounted to it or the CD drive that has the SolidWorks 2009 disc in it.

Copy and paste the following serial numbers, then click next.

0001000107360361JK3QHDJ3



4. When you click next you will get the warning below. It is trying to check the internet to

verify your serial number, but thankfully your internet is disabled. Click cancel to proceed.



5. No need to record your serial number, because it isn’t really yours anyways! Click next

to proceed.



6. Click next on the screen below.



7. Choose individual on the screen below then click next.



8. On this screen you will choose the features of SolidWorks 2009 you want to install.

SolidWorks Premium is selected by default, and this selection will give you the maximum

amount of features. IF YOU WANT COSMOS YOU OR API TOOLS YOU WILL HAVE TO SELECT

TO INSTALL THEM HERE. Incase you were wondering, API tools is for SolidWorks environment

development. Unless you are a software programmer making add-on applications forSolidWorks you probably don’t need it. Another side note, COSMOS is named “COSMOS” here

during the installation, but when you start using SolidWorks it will be called “Simulation”.

“Simulation” is the new “COSMOS”. More details on this subject at the end of the guide.



9. This screen lets you pick the SolidWorks toolbox location. Unless you have a tool box

with a lot of stuff in it already, just leave this at its default location and click next.



10. This screen asks if you want to wait to install. Click install now if you are ready to

install… It will take about 20 min or less on a fast computer. Once you click install now a

progress bar will start.



11. Once the progress bar reaches 100% the screen below will appear. MAKE SURE YOU

DON’T CHECK FOR UPDATES OR PARTICIPATE IN THE CUSTOMER EXPERINECE PROGRAM. I

recommend un-checking all of the boxes in this window and then click finish. Once you click

finish you may be asked to restart computer, DON’T RESTART YET!



12. Now that the installation is complete, it is time to apply the patch. Run the patch from

its directory in the DVD and direct the TARGET FILE to the following path below. The file will

only be in this location if you used the default installation settings. Once you have selected the

correct file path click start in the patch program. After the patch does its thing, click OK in the

popup window to end the patch program.

C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks\sldappu.dll



13. Next copy the LICENSE.DAT file from the crack / patch folder labeled COSMOS and paste

it into the directory below.

C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\COSMOS M\License

14. Next copy the NEXUS3.DLL file from the crack / patch folder labeled PhotoView 360 and

paste it into the directory below overwriting the original one.

C:\Program Files (x86)\SolidWorks Corp\PhotoView 360

15. Restart your computer. (IF THE SYSTEM ASKED YOU TO DO IT WHEN THE INSTALLATION

ENDED).

16. Enable your internet.

17. Start SolidWorks then go to TOOLS and select ADD-INS. Here you can tell SolidWorks to

inatilaize COSMOS / SolidWorks Simulation programs at startup.



18. If for some reason you don’t see all of the options listed in the box above, you may need

to EXPLORE or OPEN the drive you were installing SolidWorks from (your virtual drive with ISO

image mounted or CD drive with the disc you created in it) and choose to install the missing

options manually. COSMOS stuff is located in the folder named cwwi. You will have to open

the individual COSMOS folders one at a time and install whatever didn’t install correctly the

first time. Install by clicking any of the .EXE files inside the different COSMOS folders.



19. Finally done! Hope this helps some people that don’t speak Russian.

As mentioned at the start of this guide, many items that did have “COSMOS” in the name now

appear in SolidWorks as “Simulation”. Here is a breakdown of what changed to what…

COSMOSWorks → SolidWorks Simulation COSMOSWorks Professional → SolidWorks Simulation Professional COSMOSWorks Advanced Professional → SolidWorks Simulation Premium COSMOSXpress → SolidWorks SimulationXpress COSMOSFloXpress → SolidWorks FloXpress COSMOSFloWorks → SolidWorks Flow Simulation COSMOSMotion → SolidWorks Motion

P.S. To SolidWorks… I love your software and I would buy it if I weren’t so poor… Sorry.

Me too…
