After doing the suggested tactis it still failed but with fewer errors:
Did you already setup a bug number for this? what number? It would be best to attach log outputs to the bug report.
Doesn't Solidworks use the (Macromedia) Safecast copy protection ? In that case you are probably out of luck. I tried getting Autocad 2004, and got it to install with some Wine tweaking. There were some patches for wine that make it support some older Safecast versions (ntoskrnl), but I couldn't get it to work with the newer Safcast versions. Safecast is particularly difficult to debug because it is intended to be as complicated as possible to prevent reverse engineering. (The shear size of it is the only thing preventing it from reverse engineering). Also Safecast is designed to hide detected problems for a long time, and only bail out much later, or even not at, just limiting the software in some way, like not being able to run the last level of a game.
Jaap.
