Installation Error: Datasmith Exporter for Solidworks 2025 and UE 5.7.1

Hi everyone,

I am having a serious issue installing the Datasmith Exporter for Solidworks. Despite trying on two different machines with various configurations, the installation fails every time.

My setups are as follows:

  • System 1: Solidworks 2025 and Unreal Engine 5.7.1

  • System 2: Solidworks 2024 (I have tried with UE versions 5.4.4, 5.5, and 5.6 on this machine).

The Problem: On both computers, whenever I run the Datasmith Exporter installer, it fails to complete and throws the error shown in the attached screenshot.

I’m not sure if this is a compatibility issue due to Solidworks 2025 being very new, or if there is a missing Windows library/dependency on my end. Has anyone successfully used Datasmith with Solidworks 2025 or the latest Unreal Engine builds?

I have attached the error log/screenshot for reference. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
