FYI - Want to know what that Windows Installer error code means?

Doing some digging I ran across this cross reference list in the Installation FAQs along with some other useful information that you might have wondered about in the installation process. It is often heard on the support lines that there isn't enough information about SolidWorks installs out there. Mostly I think it is overlooked, (I am at fault as well) so I have put the list here for a sneak peek at some of the good info out there. To see the full list click on this link:
