Used to be an option in PTCsetup to direct Pro to look on a network share
for the Help files.not there now. Can you still do this?



Thanks in advance,

    How do I configure Pro/E WF5 (CEPro 5) to access help that is installed on a network share?

    I installed the help files to a network share, as I have done in Wildfire 3 and prior.
    In the past, I updatedconfig.pro setting

    Can't do that anymore...
    You have to install on a web server.
    This is very poorly documented starting on page 6-6 or 82 in the install guide.

    As Randy indicated, this is coverred (badly) on page 6-6 of the Creo install guide.


    One of the options is to install help on a web server.
    Well, I've got Windchill, which includes Apache & TomCat.
    So I ran the installer web_deploy.bat.
    However, this is not enough.
    The last install step says " Configure your Web server to distribute Help Center from the <servlet_document_root>\proe_help directory."
    Unfortunately, I do not know how to do to this with Apache/TomCat.

    Any advice?
