Blank SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager

If you experience a blank SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager window while attempting to install your software this may be caused by either your local firewall blocking HTML files from rendering on screen or your Internet Browser settings.

After unzipping the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager files you downloaded from solidworks.com you may need to unblock HTML files:

1. Browse to the downloaded installation file location  <downloads>\sldim\lang\english\HTML

2. Right-click on frameset.html and select properties from the shortcut menu

3. If there is an ‘Unblock’ checkbox, select this checkbox and click Apply

4. Repeat this process for all HTML files in the folder if they are blocked (framesetstartup.html, header.html, navpanestartup.html)

5. Re-launch the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager process
