Hi,


It should run if your paths in the .dat file are correct.Plz check the AuxiallyWidnow status....what it is showing...Because of paths...only some time it couldn't identify the exe.any how it has to show status from AuxiallyWidnow.

Coolstalin,


When you start Pro/ENGINEER to you have the Pro/TOOLKIT floating module assigned? If you do not then your unlocked Pro/TOOLKIT application will fail to start. Otherwise you must unlock your application before using it in Pro/ENGINEER.

Dear Coolstalin,


name install_test
exec_file pt_install_test.exe ---> Need to give exact path where exe is located same as you given for the text folder path....find where the exe is genereated give complete path including...eg:\xxxx\yyyy\pt_intall_test.exe
text_dir D:\proeWildfire\protoolkit\protk_appls\pt_install_test
revision Wildfire
end


Try with this it will recongnizes your application.

Hi Williaps,



You seem to be knowledgeable in PTK. I'm curious. Why do we need
Pro/Toolkit when we can use Pro/E? Is it made so that non-ProE user
can use?



Please advise. Thank you.

trillicomm,


The Pro/TOOLKIT license is required for the named developer to test his application. Additionally it is used to "unlock" the application before distributing it to his customers. Then the customers only need a standard Pro/ENGINEER license to execute the application.
