Lawrence,
In your reply you mentioned having to "tweak" something to get iLink 3.4 M062 to install on Win7. What was it? I've been trying but can't get it to install on Win7x64.Below is a copy of my notes. In addition to what is below, make sure there are no spaces to the loadpoints of either Intralink or Pro/Engineer or you will not be able to use the Import/Export function of Intralink. Intralink runs the Pro/E import and export function and cannot find the Pro/E laucher if there is a space.
There were 3 major items that needed to be fixed with Intralink 3.4 m062.
1. The “...\i486_nt\jre\bin\javaw.exe” needs to be set to run in Windows Vista compatibility
(this is necessary for Win7 to launch Intralink 3.4. Be sure to use Vista and NOT Vista Service Pack 1 or 2)
2. The “proilinkrelease_3.4.bat“ file will need to be changed to include “-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true” in the application launch line (3rd or 4th line from the end of the file, my line looks like: “start /B %prodir%\%mc%\jre\bin\javaw -Xmx256m -Xss8m -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -jar %PRO_DIRECTORY%\java\lib\Intralink.jar -l %luknfeel% %intralinkparams% >> "%logfile%"”)
(This is not necessary for the application to run, but it does allow the use of the Aero theme set while using Intralink. I have found the document flip function (Windows + Tab) to be invaluable while working, but it only operates with Aero. Without the change above, the system will automatically switch to the default, non-Aero theme when you launch Intralink)
3. Once again in the “proilinkrelease_3.4.bat“ file, the machine type needs to be specified after the check in order to find the loadinpro.exe file. This section is a little harder to find, but it looks like this:
“
set proe_mc=%mc%
if EXIST %PROE_DIR%\%proe_mc%\obj\loadinpro.exe goto fbskp
set proe_mc=x86e_win64
if EXIST %PROE_DIR%\%proe_mc%\obj\loadinpro.exe goto fbskp
set proe_mc=i486_nt
:fbskp
set PDM_LOADINPRO_PATH=%PROE_DIR%\%mc%\obj\loadinpro.exe
“
I changed the “%mc%” to “x86e_win4” in the last line so it now appears as:
“set PDM_LOADINPRO_PATH=%PROE_DIR%\x86e_win64\obj\loadinpro.exe”
This just sets the file to ALWAYS look in the x86e_win64 directory (which is the proper directory for a 64-bit OS) and keeps Intralink synched up with Pro/E.
