In this scenario, the installation of Solid Edge 2023 including Standard Parts happened without error messages, but the user subsequently receives an error regarding Microsoft .NET Framework on opening of the Standard Parts Administrator (PMAdministrator.exe).
SolutionThis is possibly because they did not install Update 1 before the installation of the Standard Parts Administrator.
This can be corrected as follows:
- Uninstall Standard Parts Administrator
- Restart the system
- Install Update 1
- Install .NET Framework 4.8 from the Solid Edge 2023 installation software in
...\Solid Edge\ISSetupPrerequisites\DotNET4.8
- Install Standard Parts Administrator
- Install the latest Update
- Restart the system
NotesThe need to install Update 1 or any later update before the installation of the Standard Parts Administrator (StandardPartsAdministrator_2023_2210_[language].exe) is an exception in Version 2023. Nevertheless, it is imperative to also install the latest update after the installation of the Administrator software. Solid Edge software updates often include fixes for Standard Parts software.
