How to configure VB API for multiple versions of Creo in a machine

[sahmeds]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure multiple versions of creo (Creo 8 and Creo 10) in a machine and i need to access vb api of each version based on the user action such as open. as per the instructions i had added pro_comm_msg.exe of Creo 10 to environment variables. my doubt is that how to setup the same for Creo 8?

And will the COM classes and interfaces will be segregated for both the version and both can work parallelly?

Not required. Delete manually added variable.

In bin\*.psf this variable is set for each version of Creo:

ENV=PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE=%PRO_DIRECTORY%\%PRO_MACHINE_TYPE%\obj\pro_comm_msg.exe

I'm not sure what to do with  vb_api_register.bat.

Perhaps, register only for latest version of  the Creo.

Use classes and compile the application separately for each version.
