Installation error for 3D CAD solidworks 2012 SP2

Asked By Fred A Denker 220 points N/A Posted on - 06/14/2012

Hello there,

I have been trying to install the 3D CAD tool Solidworks 2012 SP2 on my PC, but I've always bump into a problem.

I tried to install

it a lot of times but the following message appears on the screen

SolidWorks Installation Manager

Internal error: The Windows Installer for this product component did not run as expected: 1903. Contact Technical Support. When contacting Technical Support about installation issues, you will need to provide the installation log files available in this directory. 

 

Use the button below to save your logs as a zip file for sending to your support representative.

I even uninstalled the antivirus software and then again installed it but still the same problem persists. The error code which appears is 1903. Anybody has any idea what does this error code means?

If anyone of you can shed some light on this issue, do let me know please. I'll be highly obliged.

It seems that you have already tried restarting your computer a couple of times just to make the installation work and still nothing happened. Maybe it would be better if you will check your system’s compatibility with the application.

I suspect that there is a system incompatibility here. SolidWorks 2012 works with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and with Windows 7 regardless of their editions and the Service Pack they are running on.

Your system must have at least 2 GB of RAM or more to fully use the program and requires around 5 GB of available hard drive space for the installation.

If you didn’t find any system incompatibility after checking the information above, you may also try checking your computer for any possible errors. Use a disk utility application to check the system.

Try installing it again after this.To know more about the complete system specifications of SolidWorks 2012, you may visit Dassault Systemes — SolidWorks.
