Installer Service Pack Catia: Tips and Tricks for a Smooth and Successful Installation



Software fixes are distributed in the form of service packs. The service pack CD-ROM contains fixes for all configurations and products available at the time it is built. Each service pack supersedes the previous ones and may be installed on top of the released level or on top of a previous service pack. No individual corrections are delivered in between two service packs. Service packs are made available on a regular basis. Delivery is synchronized for Windows and UNIX platforms.

Installing a service pack also involves committing or rolling back a service pack. For more information, refer to Committing and Rolling Back Service Packs. Installing a Service Pack Using the GUI on Windows 1. Log on as an administrator.You must belong to the Administrators group, or have the privileges assigned to the Administrators group. Otherwise, you will not be able to start the installation. 2. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.The installation starts automatically, and the Welcome dialog box appears:


3. Click the Next button to move to the next step.If any Dassault Systemes processes are still running, preventing correct service pack setup, the setup program detects them and prompts you to terminate them. If so, click the Yes button to terminate the processes and continue.


This also means that you must perform a separate service pack installation, each time selecting the appropriate destination folder for each GA. Installing the service pack just once in one destination folder is not sufficient. 4. Check the "Commit the service pack automatically" option if you want to commit the service pack.Installing a service pack also involves committing or rolling back a service pack. For more information, refer to Committing and Rolling Back Service Packs.


If you do not commit the service pack during the installation, and certain code components are redelivered with the service pack (for example, shells, executable files), the new version of the component is installed and the previous version of the component is saved using the following naming convention:


  • C:\cxinst.log Installing a Service Pack in Batch Mode on Windows You can also install a service pack in batch mode using the StartSPKB command.Note that, if your Version 5 software is delivered on more than one CD-ROM, you can:copy all the software into the same folder

  • or, given that the software is distributed on several CDs ( 1, 2 ...), copy the contents of each CD into a separate folder for each CD, making sure that the name of each folder corresponds to the CD number ( 1, 2 ...) etc.

1. Log on as an administrator. 2. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. When the installation starts automatically, interrupt it. 3. Open a Command Prompt window and go to the Intel directory. 4. Enter the command:StartSPKB


StartSPKB [-u] [-b] [-bC] [-v] [-killprocess] [-h] -u: specifies the installation to which you want to apply the service pack (useful if you installed several identical releases in different locations on the same computer)-b: installs the service pack(-b is optional) but does not commit the service pack


-killprocess: detects running processes (for example, Orbix) in the installation folder (unload_dir\code\bin) and terminates them before installing the service pack; at the end of the installation, the Orbix process is restarted.


  • ./start -s Follow the instructions, and note the following: the service pack will be installed automatically in the same directory as the current release: on UNIX, if you installed the current release elsewhere than in the default location, you will be prompted to enter the path

  • you are not allowed to choose configurations or products: the service pack CD-ROM contains fixes for all configurations and products available at the time it is built. Fixes are installed for the configurations and products detected in your installation.

  • unlike a normal installation, you are not allowed to start a session directly at the end of the installation procedure.

The Welcome dialog box appears: 5. Click the Next button to move to the next step. The Choose Destination Location dialog box appears:


The service pack will be installed automatically in the same directory as the current release: on UNIX, if you installed the current release elsewhere than in the default location, you will be prompted to enter the path.


This also means that you must perform a separate service pack installation, each time selecting the appropriate destination folder for each GA. Installing the service pack just once in one destination folder is not sufficient. 8. If you want to commit the service pack automatically, check the "Commit automatically" option, or install the service pack without committing by clicking the Next button. Installing a service pack also involves committing or rolling back a service pack. For more information, refer to Committing and Rolling Back Service Packs.


  • 9. Click the Install button to install the service pack, then click the Finish button once the setup phase is complete. Note the following: you are not allowed to choose configurations or products: the service pack CD-ROM contains fixes for all configurations and products available at the time it is built. Fixes are installed for the configurations and products detected in your installation

  • unlike a normal installation, you are not allowed to start a session directly at the end of the installation procedure.

  • An installation log is created (or the existing log is updated) in the current temporary directory, located by default in: $HOME/cxinst.log Installing a Service Pack in Batch Mode on UNIX You can also run the installation in batch mode using the following command:start [-b] [-bC] [-s] [-u unloaddir] [-v] [-killprocess][-h] -b: performs batch setup (optional if another batch option other than -s is used) but does not commit the service pack

  • -bc: installs in batch mode and automatically commits the service pack

  • -u: specifies the unload directory (by default, /usr/DassaultSystemes/B20)

  • -v: verbose mode

  • -killprocess: detects running processes (for example, Orbix) in the installation folder (unload_dir/code/bin) and terminates them before installing the service pack; at the end of the installation, the Orbix process is restarted.


CATIA version 5 R16 service pack 2 installation requires four CDs in total. Two CDs for base CATIA version 5 R16 and two CDs for service pack 2. During the installation on CATIA version 5 R16 service pack 2 CD #2, the installation would hang and stop.


Do you need a hot fix to be installed for your CATIA to work?Sometimes there are a few critical problems within the CATIA software. A hot fix is a software maintenance package containing fixes for a small number of these issues. A hot fix can be made to address customer issues more quickly than waiting for the next service pack which has a scheduled release. A hot fix can be used to prevent simple and more complex issues found within the software. When a fix is requested it has to be first accepted and approved by Dassault Systèmes before being delivered to the customer. One of the most common hot fixes that customers require is hot fix 96 for R19, this hot fix was made to allow CATIA R19 to use a different type of license however there are many other hot fixes that can be installed which resolve different issues within the program.


We recommend that you contact your Microsoft Dynamics Partner beforeinstalling service packs or hot fixes. It is important to verify thatyour environment is compatible with the service pack(s) or hotfix(es)being installed. A service pack or hot fix may cause interoperabilityissues with customizations, and third-party products that work with yourMicrosoft Dynamics solution.


After installing a service pack, you may want to spend some time using the service pack for validation purposes, before making it officially available to your end users. "Committing" a service pack means applying the service pack to your installation, so that it becomes the official working level. This deletes the previous level, thereby saving disk space.


After spending some time using the service pack for validation purposes, you may find that the service pack is not suitable. If this is the case, you can "roll back" the service pack: rolling back a service pack uninstalls the service pack, and restores the software level to the level prior to installing the service pack.


SOLIDWORKS service packs are service patches that append fixes/new functionality to your software. Each yearly installment of SOLIDWORKS begins at SP0.0. Historically, each yearly release sees about five or more additional services packs after the first.


If your company is using SOLIDWORKS PDM, there may be other considerations to consider. In SOLIDWORKS 2017, PDM Standard and PDM Professional can be on separate service packs of the same major version. For example, if your vault is version 2017 SP0.0, you can connect to it with a client machine installed at version 2017 SP1.0.


In a continuing effort to provide high quality products, this Service Pack 2 for Autodesk Inventor 2012 fixes or addresses avariety of issues. This file highlights how to install the service pack and what has been fixed.


Blocked Downloads? If your SOLIDWORKS serial number has expired, (no longer under subscription service) you will not be able to use Check for Updates inside SOLIDWORKS to download the latest service pack. You will also find there is a lock on the download section in the Customer Portal. This is because SOLIDWORKS requires an active subscription to download the software from their servers. 2ff7e9595c
