Can't start PTC Creo 3.0

Hello PTC Community, I'm in need of some help.

 

In our company we were using PTC Creo 2.0 but we accually had a license file for 3.0.. 

I downloaded PTC Creo 3.0 (MED-100WIN-CD-400_M070_Win64.zip) and installed it. Everything works great untill I tried running Creo. I get the same error when running Simulate.

 

I get following error:

I tried uninstalled and reinstalling it multiple times. Nothing I've done so far seems to help.

 

I really appreciate any help anybody can provide.

These two sentences basicly solved it:

- It seems to me that when you launch CR3, it finds wrong baselibmt.dll file (maybe file that belongs to CR2).
- On my PC C:\Windows\System32 does not contain baselibmt.dll file.

I sorted my System32 folder on date and time. I noticed i had a bunch of other DLL files (128 to exact) created on that date. I moved them all out.. Tried openening Creo 3.0 and it works..

SUCCES!
Thanks ALOT for the help.

Are you running a 64-bit OS?

Properties on your Computer icon will give this:

Hi,

did you unzip MED-100WIN-CD-400_M070_Win64.zip and then launch setup.exe ? I use free 7-zip 9.20 software to unzip downloaded files.

Yes, I unzipped the file (also with 7-Zip 9.20) before running the setup.exe (as administrator).

I stored the unzipped files in "C:\Temp".

Hi,

I searched baselibmt.dll file on my local disk. I found this file in CR2+CR3 installation and unzipped DVD media.

It seems to me that when you launch CR3, it finds wrong baselibmt.dll file (maybe file that belongs to CR2).

  • search you local disk for baselibmt.dll file
  • check PATH variable

    Hi,

    on my PC C:\Windows\System32 does not contain baselibmt.dll file. Go to C:\Windows\System32 directory, rename baselibmt.dll file and test CR3.
