From my VAR - we set the config.pro:

startup_check_for_visualization - no

This is a work around that solve the window popping up.

Thanks, Dale

Dale,

I think the best way how to solve the problem is to deinstall/install WF5...

Martin,

WF5/Creo is the main software we use. I had Creo3 loaded in a different directory..... so I could do some trial evals.

Thanks

Dale,

if you use different ProE/Creo version, then it is necessary to set PTC_WF_ROOT variable for every version. I do it in psf file in bin directory using the following line:

ENV=PTC_WF_ROOT=path_to_directory_related_to_specific_version

Dale,

You may wanna try repairing the Productview by executing ProductView_Express_32_64.msi from Creo Elements Load Point\install\addon.

    Forgive my ignorance, but for what is productview_express_32_54.msi used?

    Thanks, Dale

    It is for ProductView Express installation/reconfiguration.
