try to restore the data from backup that can be useful try it after that try to install s.w

Thanks for response, Saad!

But how do I know what is useful or not..?
I got a tip about checking the install log file to determine what's causing the error. But I'm not very experienced with these kind of problems so I'm kind of shooting in the dark if you know what I mean.
Anyone know exactly where to find these install log files in windows 7, and what to look for regarding Solidworks installation?
Just worried to make things worse by messing up things I dont have a clue about, hehe.

Tried to follow the steps, but unfortunately it did not make any change..

I have now localized the install log file, and seems to be an error in "RegVal.exe". Please see the added file to read the complete log file.

What does this error accually mean? And is it a quick fix or complicated?

Thanks.

try this :

unistall SW2013

download ccleaner from piriform webpage
here is the link :
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard

once installed, run it, then on the left side there is an icon named register or something like this.
click on it
check for errors and fix errors (by deleting missing entries)
go in the folder where solidworks had been installed and make sure that no file still exist : delete folder.

To finish, run your illegal version of SW2013 following ALL the instructions, copy the files in the destination folder of the install.

Run SW

Have fun

Still problem with SW2013 on my laptop..
Maybe just buy a new laptop...? Hah..

Google'd regval.exe error and seems that its a quite common problem. Found some programs that automatically fix regval.exe (Advanced Fix 2013), but thats a program that you need to buy before use. Is it worth a try, or is it just the same as ccleaner?

try illegal version XP

When the legal way is not sufficient, there is always another way...

OK, This sounds like a problem That I had previously ran into with SW2008, SW2009, pretty much anything after SW2007.

If it is the problem I am thinking about then it is a Windows problem not a solidworks problem. It has to do with the version of Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable that is currently installed in windows. Check to see if it is the latest version. If it's not, then download and install the latest version and try again.

Here is a somewhat crude roadmap of what is happening.

SW installation manager comes to the point where it installs Visual C/C++
Redistributable Ver 4.0. If your laptop has Ver 2.0 installed, but not ver 3.0, the install manager will not have the proper library to incorporate ver 4.0 into. (This may be what the VBA warning towards the end of the log is all about) Upon failure to find the previous consecutive version it skips the installation of Visual C/C++ which is what links the solidworks library to the windows library. This is the last thing it does on the install, so if it fails it will create exactly the situation that you are describing. Check microsofts website about this problem. They may have some more info.

Good luck.

原来你们也用盗版!!!

Try using the setup from swwii>>Data>>solidworks.exe
It worked for me on Win 7 SP1.
