I tried loading 2005 SW and got the error message "The database file
C:\Program Files\Common File\Solidworks
Data\lang\english\swbrowser.mdb" is not the expected version (9.02).
This comes up when I try to used hole wizard.

I did have other versions, i.e. SW 2006,04,02 on my computer at times.
These are not on the computer anymore.

How can I solve this problem? Help is appreciated.

Try add/remove programs and modify. Make sure you have toolbox added
in under the customize section. if it is already added then try a
repair or remove toolbox and then add it back. Hopefully this will
repair the incorrect toolbox file.

You can 'hack' the SWBrowser.mdb file if you want.

Open it in Access and go to the table called Version. There is a field
called CurrentVersion. Change the value to whatever value the error
message says. Re-save the MDB file and you're done.

You may need to restart SW though.

Manually editing SolidWorks data files seems like a really bad idea.
Was this fix endorsed by SW?
