20MB for a new Installation Manager.
Run IM... select Update an Existing Admin Image (smaller download)
Notified that I have to download 1.2GB (Smaller download? For a x.1patch?)
I noticed that for some programs, ex. eDrawings, rather than asmall patch you actually download the entire program. Same for PDM,SW Exporer, etc. I don't believe this to be the most efficient wayof patching. That size download becomes a real PITA when you workat a place that has a CAPTCHA authentication requirement every 15minutes. And I have a feeling that I won't be in the minority bystating that SolidWorks' servers seem slow.
I've also tried the option of downloading the files on a computerwith open internet access and then installing from those downloadedfiles, but I always get an error about not having all the files,which is crazy because I clicked on what seemed like 100 filedownload hyperlinks and double checked. Even my VAR says it rarelyworks.
Also, I cannot find the list of SPRs that were fixed in this SP.I'd like to determine if it's necessary for us to install a SPbefore I spend a whole day babysitting my internet connection.
Anyone else have a similar miserable experience with thisprocess?SolidworksAdministration
