11/6/2019 How To Install Solid Edge On Windows 7
There's nothing wrong with testing software Beta versions if that's what interests you. I agree it is not advisable to do so in a production environment, but Beta versions need to be tested in a public environment to get the exposure to 'real world' use. If public testing of Beta's was not done, even more bugs would not be discovered till it was too late. Anyway, the reason I ask is more for a comparative survey. A number of SW users on the official SolidWorks forum are testing SW/Win7 (for whatever reasons) on their home machines. I was just wondering if other mainstream modelling system users were doing the same, and if so, whether their findings were good, bad or indifferent. I have also posed this question in the Pro/E forum.
RE: SolidEdge on Windows 7 (Mechanical) 17 Feb 09 07:59. Fast forward to May 2009, I experimented with Windows7 build 7100 64bit and Solid Edge V20 32bit.

The latest release of Solid Edge (ST10) will not install on Windows Vista or Windows XP. Microsoft dropped mainstream support for Windows 7 in January 2015.
As mentioned in previous posts, the installer hangs and never finishes it's job. If you bring up the process manager (Ctrl+Alt+delete) and kill anything to do with 'printing', such as 'printer installer', the process will finalize and you will have a valid installation. You may want to reboot and restart Solid Edge to verify a valid install. My understanding is the V20 64 bit installs well with the same trick, but refuses to run after reboot. I wonder what was UGS response to NardoAPC.
By the way I think it is not Windows7 causing this problem, my NEi-Nastran V9.2 X86 refuses to install searching for XP sp1, or Vista. Apparently installer programs are the root of these problems.

So no separate HDD if you have a node-locked license and want to dual boot. One thing that is coming along with the official release of Windows7 is XP Mode. It is an XP virtual machine based on MS VirtualPC, and includes an XP SP3 licence.
It will be available as free download with Pro, Enterprise and Ultimate versions. It will allow XP apps to run in Seven. More details in this article: @ Pat try dual-booting Windows and Linux. (it is surprisingly easy to set up BTW) I've been running WinXP and Ubuntu (a Linux distro) at home for the past 18 months. Tried to install SE V20 and ST in Ubuntu with Wine, a software layer that allows some Windows programs to run on Linux, but without luck.(most CAD apps won't run: wine development is done mostly on games and graphics apps) I dream of freeing myself completely of Microsoft, but it seems it ain't happening anytime soon, except if I change my line of work!

RE: SolidEdge on Windows 7 (Mechanical) 14 May 09 20:43. Just wanted to add some more info on XP Mode. After reading a little more about it, I don't think it's going to be of use for CAD apps that wouldn't run on Windows 7. I'm pretty sure all it does for video is emulate a basic and generic video card, it won't be able to address the physical video card on the host machine (no virtualization software can at the moment, to my limited knowledge).
And one reviewer said he didn't find any setting to control how much memory to allow to the emulated video card. I don't understand why MS chose the virtualization way to run Win XP apps. It seems to me adding a compatibility software layer to Windows 7 would have been more sensible, and would have needed much less overhead. RE: SolidEdge on Windows 7 (Mechanical) 6 Aug 09 03:29. Hello to all. This is my first post here.
I apologize for English, I am Brazilian and I do not know speak very well. I also had problems in the W7 with Solid Edge ST but I managed to solve.
Upon installation, the end, when it crashes press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC, will enter the task manager. Tab finalize the process 'PrinterInstaller.exe' will release the installation window to click on finish. The problem with the templates in the initial screen is only set up the shortcut to start SE in compatibility mode with Windows XP (Service Pack3). I hope I have helped.
