Question

*.bat is not a valid Win32 application.

I use a simple batch file to set the PTC_WF_ROOT.


@echo off
set PTC_WF_ROOT=C:\Users\mpinkney.TRT\AppData\Roaming\PTC\ProENGINEER\Wildfire\.wf
"C:\PTC\proeWildfire 4.0\bin\proe.exe" "C:\PTC\proeWildfire 4.0\bin\proe1.psf" %*


Now Windows 7 (64 bit) does not recognize *.bat files. I opens them in notepad. Anyone know how to associate *.bat files with Windows Batch Files?


Thanks,


Mike Pinkney

Bat files work on my win7 64bit.

Could it be the User Access Control is not letting you run it?

Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts and set it to Never Notify.

Thanks everyone. It's working. Mike Phillips helped me out. I edited the registry and deleted the key.


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.bat
