This is a typical symptom of not having the .NET FrameWork 3.0 application installed on the PC running SolidWorks Explorer 2008. This is required for SolidWorks Explorer and SolidWorks 2008 to run. The .NET redistributable packages are included with the DVD or download. Browse the source of the installation (DVD, download folder, or Administrative Image). Go to the\\data\DotNetFX and double click on dotnetfx3.exe for WinXP x32 and dotnetfx3_64.exe for WinXP x64. Once this is installed, run a repair of the SolidWorks Explorer Installation.
