Hi Martin,

I checked again and a std.out file was created.
I am running Windows 11 in Parallels on Mac.

Hi,

now it is clear ... Creo does not run on Apple M1 Pro processor. Only Intel/AMD is supported.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your response. I installed Creo and everything worked just fine. When I double click the icon shown below, to open the application, I see a short loading sign, and then nothing happens. If I check the Task Manager, the Program isn't shown in the list, which means that it hasn't startet. Is there any other way to launch the application?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,

Q1:When was the last time Creo worked?

Q2:What has changed?

Q3:When you start Creo, is std out file created?

Q4:Did you look into Event viewer?

Hi,

 

You can run Creo 10 (or earlyer version) on Mac M1 with Parallel Desktop 19.

Edit C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 10.0.1.0\Parametric\bin\parametric.psf and add this line at the start:

 

ENV=PRO_MACHINE_TYPE=x86e_win64

Note: I am almost sure that PTC does not support this environment.
