SP 0.0 > Behavior Changes > MWPDM Installer > SOLIDWORKS Document Manager Installation

Due to the transition to service architecture, the PDM installer no longer handles the installation and distribution of the SOLIDWORKS Document Manager. Users working with SOLIDWORKS documents in PDM Standalone mode now have control over the SOLIDWORKS Document Manager installation and configuration.

Key Changes:

•The PDM installer will no longer automatically install SOLIDWORKS Document Manager components

•Users requiring SOLIDWORKS document handling in Standalone mode must manually register the required DLL library

•The PDM installer will display a warning notification when SOLIDWORKS is not detected on the machine or when the Document Manager is not properly installed/registered

Users working with SOLIDWORKS documents in PDM Standalone mode can ensure proper registration of the SOLIDWORKS Document Manager library using the Admin Prompt command:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\SOLIDWORKS Shared\swdocumentmgr.dll"
