Add menu to Pro/E menu bar in WF4 64bit

ptc-161645 · ‎Aug 14, 2008

I am compiling our utilities for WF 4 for 64 bit, and I can not get one
of my toolkit dll files to load into Pro/E. The file is very simple, it
just adds a menu to the Pro/E menu bar and adds a few sub menus. When
it loads, it gives a PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR. I have tried everything I
can think of, including the sample code from the Pro/TK user guide and
the pt_examples included in the Pro/Toolkit install directory, and they
all give the same PRO_TK_GENERAL_ERROR error. The pt_install_test, and
one of my utilities that adds a button to an existing menu, both work
ok. Anyone have any idea on what the problem may be, or on how to debug
this?

Thanks,

Scott Edsell

The problem was that I had installed VS 2005 SP 1 on the 64 bit system.
This is not supported, so I uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2005 and
recompiled the DLLs, and now everything is working. Thank you for all
of the replies.
