Not able to uninstall solidworks2010(32-bit) on Win 7 (64-bit)

Hello. I just bought a new laptop with a win 7 (64-bit) and managed to install the solidworks2010(32-bit) on it. Since it is said that the 64-bit version will run faster than 32-bit, I want to just uninstall the 32-bit version and install a solidworks2011(64-bit). But I can't uninstall the old because of the compatibility: Installation Manager pops up a window saying that the (x 86) installation program cannot run on a computer based on a 64-bit system.

If anyone can tell me how to do? THX.

Simon

"Everything I did was to install the 32-bit version and I did not install all 64 bit versions of solidworks on my machine, so I don't think that the first assumption you provided would be the reason for the problem."

Who is my first assumption that you're talking about?  I suggest that you try and install the 64-bit version despite (thus ignoring) the problems you are having with the 32-bit version.

System Restore is never convenient if the restore points are way back when.  As you say, they cancel too much other work.

I wonder if you get the error message is due to other unknown errors that the program cannot communicate with you?  "SolidWorks X 86 (32 bit) Edition cannot be installed on a X 64 (64-bit) computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7", seems a bit off, as you have it installed already on the said machine.  I guess that's why I'm looking for other covert reasons for failure and tend to focus on one type of permissions access problem.

Try programs and features once more but this time activate and use the built-in Administrator account which you should activate first.

This example may or may not work for you, with your program?

"It seems that the"Run as Administrator"command gives you administrative privileges only, and they are not enough to install Java (and OpenOffice, by association). To work around this problem, you must actually connect to an administrator. Open a command prompt with admin rights by clicking Start, type cmd in the search/run box, hit CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER. At the prompt, type:

NET user administrator / Active: Yes

Then disconnect from your regular account and record as an administrator, you should be able to install the program. When you are finished, open a session to your regular account and, for security reasons, disabling the account administrator for assistance:

«net user administrator / active: No.»

Sometimes a manual uninstall is an option, this is to remove the appropriate registry entries and do the same for the folders and files anywhere where they can occur.

  • Not able to see the 64-bit oracle.dataaccess.dll of GAC

    Hello
    I installed the client of 11g oracle 64-bit with ODP.net and deployed Oracle.DataAccess.dll in the GAC (it is deployed on C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_64\Oracle.DataAccess). But I'm not able to return this dll to a project in Visual Studio, it does not appear in the window "Add reference". Please help me solve this problem. My system is a 64-bit computer.

    I did not submit this problem in the 32-bit computer. In 32-bit computer, I installed the client 32-bit oracle 11g and deployed Oracle.DataAccess.dll in the GAC (it is deployed on C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\Oracle.DataAccess). I could see this dll to the project in visual studio.



    Kind regards

    Kiran.

    Hello

    Do you mean the .net tab? I think the problem is u cant reference 64-bit dll like that, since the studio is a 32-bit application. We had the same problem and our solution was to install 32-bit odp.net on our 64-bit machines, and refer instead.

  • not able to uninstall Assistant support hp in hp pavilion g6 1301tx with windows7 64 bit os

    I have a little problem with my computer pavilion laptop g6 1301tx. I installed the new version of the hp support assistant in my lappy and it worked for a few days.

    One day, when I want to use assistant suport that it does not work and one assistant support window showing was arrested. So I tried to uninstall the software and I did it via Control Panel, he showed the uninstall is complete but the application is always present and it is not removed completely. Now I can't install hp support assistant.

    When I want to install it, again I am the guest below as crush or not?

    hp support assistant now not the list in the Control Panel then how to remove...

    Help me please...

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Unless you still have the installer, download the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - download links are to the bottom of the page - and Save the installer to your download folder.

    http://h18021.www1.HP.com/helpandsupport/HP-support-Assistant.html

    Then, if you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Please note that If you have a 64-bit installation, download and install the Installer x 64 64-bit .msi on the link below.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    Then, right click on the HPSA installer you download earlier, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files, and then click Ok.  The newly extracted folder, right-click on UninstallHPSA and select "Run as Administrator" - you may well see no progress of this attempt uninstalling, then leave the laptop at idle for a good 10 minutes before restarting it.

    Open your download folder and delete the "record HPSA extracted" so you are just left with the original installer that you downloaded.

    Now run Microsoft 'Fixit' on the link below and use it to install the new version of HPSA.

  • Have a support of Win 7 Home Basic 32 bit, not able to upgrade to 64 - bit

    I picked up a basic family Win7 (32 bit DVD) somewhere in 2012, am looking for upgrade to a 64-bit (got a brand new platform). The problem is, a 64-bit upgrade does not support media, and my dealer doesn't have a copy of Win7 for me to Exchange (the idea put forward by the call center).

    Please could you suggest ideas.

    You must do two things:

    1. Find out if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit PC.
    2. Find a friend who has a DVD to install Windows 7 Home Basic 64-bit.

    You can try this link to download it, but it is reported to be defective because it fails to give you the possibility of the language of your choice.

  • Not able to see the media server on Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit - please help

    I have a smart TV which has DLNA work.  I can see shared media on a mind DIFFERENT PC Win 7 Starter, Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.  They use the same home network / local, the same router.  It deos not matter if I use Plex or Nero Home 4.

    I checked firewall settings, and they seem to be the same.

    None of the items in this forum seem to help, I'm afraid.

    Help, please.

    I reread your post - Windows STARTER does not include the many associated media
    features, including
     
    DVD playback.
    * Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
    * Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, your videos and recorded TV
    your computer at home.
     
    Do not know if you try to listen to this starter computer
     
    For the Home Premium machine, you should not have Nero or Plex for broadcast.
    The link I provided was to the natives streaming and play. It work
    you? If you are looking for help with Nero or Plex, you should post in their
