SolidWorks install error 1603 - please advise

[mhaeberli]

Hi!
Since we're using the Student Edition, there is no technical support...
We have a clean Windows 7 Pro machine, and the install fails with this error in the logs.
Any available guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin

Marie,
Thank you! Turns out that we can't UN install as the install proper failed. Go figure...
Maybe I'll try to track down a reseller myself...
Best,
Martin
