Deploy CREO 10 using 7zip

Prior to CREO 6, I can install a new release of CREO on my machine and create a 7zip archive.  Users can extract this archive and install this on their machine without using the software center or requiring local admin rights.  With the new releases now, you have to run the creoagent (creosvcs_64.exe) which requires admin rights.  PTC support stated that this is not a supported method, and not offering any workarounds.   I believe some folks are still using this method for their deployment.  Just curious how I can do this for our CREO 10 deployment and not have to rely on the software center. 

 

Thank you all in advance!

Hi,

try simple test:

  • install Creo Parametric 10.0 on clean computer (I mean computer without any Creo installation)
  • zip installation
  • copy zip to another computer
  • unzip
  • run Creo

Note: In Creo 9.0 I had to add following lines at the end of parametric.psf file. Path corresponds with my installation.

 

ENV=CREO_AGENT_EXE_PATH=E:\PTC\Creo9_020\Creo\Agent\creoagent.exe
ENV=CREO_AGENT_LDP_LIST=E:\PTC\Creo9_020\Creo\Platform\9\manifests
