Toolbox Error on SolidWorks 2012 SP3

When you go to Toolbox you get the following error:

The database file ‘C:SolidWorks Datalangenglishswbrowser.mdb’ is not the expected version.

It happens when you have recently upgraded your SolidWorks install to SW2010 or SW2011. SolidWork should have updated your HoleWizard/Toolbox database, or maybe it installed a new one, and the wrong path is listed in Tools -> Options -> Hole Wizard/ Toolbox.

Steps to rise:

1. Double click on My computer. Look to C:SolidWorks Data, C:SolidWorks Data (2).
2. Open SolidWorks, Tools -> Options -> Hole Wizard / Toolbox. Check that the path is correct and if wrong path, try browsing to them and correct them.
3. Press Win+R: “C:Program FilesSolidWorks CorpSolidWorksToolboxdata utilities” copy this text there and run UpdateBrowserData.exe. Browse to the swbrowser.mdb file inside C:SolidWorks Datalangenglish and click “Update”.

Done.

Toolbox Error on SolidWorks 2012 SP3

 

Hi there user:

Surely there is a problem on one (1) or both installation. Or try to check the folders; they should not be in the same folder. Get to the toolbox and configure the toolbox state, save the settings or revert back and save.

I hope this could make it better.

Thanks for asking via techyv.com
