Did anyone else encounter this problem while installing Solidworks 2021?
Hello everyone,
I was trying to install Solidworks 2021 on my laptop and the attached page pops up but nothing else shows.
Has anyone encountered this issue in the past and knows how to fix it?
Accepted answer
When the installation files are downloaded and extracted, it is possible that Windows will block the HTML files and scripting that creates the user interface for the Installation Manager. This results in the Installation Manager not displaying any options and showing a white screen.
To correct this issue, the files for the Installation Manager will need to be unblocked.
*Navigate to the <SOLIDWORKS Download>\sldim\lang\english\HTML folder that was extracted from the download
*Right-click on a file found in the folder and select Properties
*On the General tab select the ‘Unblock’ option
*Do this for every file in this folder
The list of files should include the following:
frameset.html
framesetstartup.html
header.html
imfunc.js
navpanestartup.html
sldim.css
sldim_navepane.css
