New installation

SOLIDWORKS must be installed prior to installing HSMWorks
Before you install HSMWorks 2027, please make sure to run Windows Update, install all Windows Updates that are pending on your machine, and reboot.
It is sometimes necessary to perform a Windows Update multiple times to completely update your operating system.
Verify that enough disk space is available on your machine to install HSMWorks 2027 (approx. 2 GB).
Before installing HSMWorks 2027, please uninstall all prior Autodesk beta products.
Download HSMWorks 2027 from the Autodesk Account Portal or from your Autodesk Access Application.
Follow the instructions to download and launch the installer. Temporary extraction is to your temp folder. Operating system errors regarding very long path names can occur if the temporary location is nested too many levels deep.
If the installer does not launch, browse to the folder where the files were extracted, and double-click setup.exe.

Updating an existing installation

When a new update is available, an update notification will appear in the Autodesk Access app.
Please download and install the update package.
We recommend that you uninstall HSMWorks 2026 before installing HSMWorks 2027. You can uninstall the relevant release using "Add or remove programs" in Windows Settings. If you choose not to do that, you may need to be aware that:
- HSMWorks 2027 will now be registered with SolidWorks instead of HSMWorks 2026.
- If you uninstall HSMWorks 2026 at a later time, you may lose the registration of HSMWorks 2027 with SolidWorks. The registration between the two products can be restored using the following command, which requires admin privileges to run: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\HSMWorks 2027\hsmsw.dll"
