Question

Pro/ENGINEER Installation Directory

Hi everybody

Many years ago as an applcation engineer for PTC I was advised that youshould not install Pro/ENGINEER into the Program Fles folder on a PC - the reason being Pro/ENGINEER did not like the space between Program and Files in the folder title. Consequently every Pro/ENGINEER installation I have ever carried out has always been into a folder like

C:\PTC\proewildfire3

I'm just curious to know ifis this still relevant advice. Does Pro/ENGINEER still get upset by the space? Did it ever get upset by the space?

Regards,

Neal

That would be a problem specific to Intralink 3.x.

PDMLink/Intralink 8+ doesn't have an issue with the spaces in the ProE Install dir. I use "proeWildfire 4.0" all the time with no problems, although I don't typically install in C:\Program Files, which is the default. But I have even done that on a laptop with no problems.
