SOLIDWORKS 2021 SP1.0 or older version installation might fail with this error message:
"A newer version of this application is already installed. Installation stopped."
What causes the error?
Error is caused because SOLIDWORKS 2021 SP2.0 or newer version that exists in the same computer has installed the newer version of Microsoft VBA 7.1 which prevents installation of older VBA version.
How the error is fixed?
1. Download the attached file "VBA 2021.zip" and extract the zip file to your workstation.
2. Navigate to extracted folder "VBA 2021" and uninstall components vba71.msi and vba71_1033.msi.
After uninstalling these components the installation of SOLIDWORKS 2021 SP1.0 and older versions will succeed. Please contact our support if you need further help.
