I have Solidworks 2009 for my engineering classes this year. I got it so i could do work outside of class. Well, i tried to install it on both Bootcamp and VMWare Fusion on different OSes, XP Home SP2, XP Pro SP2, XP Pro SP3, and Vista Home Premium, and it keeps giving me an error that installation was interrupted and couldn't continue. Now i tried installing it on my other PCs, and it installed no problem. I also tried safe mode on Bootcamp, and it said that admin had disabled privileges, even as me signed in as the admin. What's wrong with mine?

You probably need to contact tech support at Solidworks. It appears for some reason that the program doesn't like your hardware. If it installs OK on your other PCs but not on the MBP, it could be a hardware thing. Running Windows XP Home, Pro, or Vista on a BC partition is the same as running Windows natively except for the Mac hardware.

BTW, that's just a stab in the dark from me. Could be something else. :Confused:

Regards.
