Hi,

 

I have Creo 2.0 M090 installed on my laptop. I clicked Utilities>open system window. Then I input purge and execute it. I was told 'purge is not recognized as an internal or external command,....', see attached image. Anybody who knows what's going on here?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jayanta,

Thanks. My issue solved. But I have a further question: Why add purge.bat location to Variable 'PATH' will work?

Here is the thing, I checked my System Variables, I don't have PATH variables. So I added PATH and ONLY put purge.bat location, it won't work until I copy my colleage's PATH value (Which have several locations including purge.bat location). Can you explain this?

Thanks,

Sylar

Sylar,

you have to modify environment variable PATH and add a path similar to the following one at the end of definition:

C:\PTC\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin
