[koka_user]

Hi-



Anyone run into issues with getting ProEngineerStart () function to work
with Wildfire 2.0 m100. It always returns protoolkit general error.
Pro_comm_msg_exe is set correctly.



I am passing the start command and location of the text directory to the
function..any help is appreciated



TIA.

Hi Kiran -

I have an asynchronous application (which, admittedly, uses
ProEngineerStart() with a
NULL pointer for the text directory) that successfully starts Wildfire 2
build m090
or M120. When I do have problems with ProEngineerStart(), I usually test
the pathname
of the .exe and then check the license file. The license file is most
often the problem.

I don't know how licensing is implemented at your site, but on Wildfire 2
I correct the
problem by editing C:\ptc\proe\bin\proe.psf . Near the bottom I find this
line

ENV=PROE_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_Flex3C

and change it to this:

ENV=PROE_FEATURE_NAME=PROE_Flex3C(14)

Again, there may be different licensing scheme at your site, and 14 may
therefore not
be the magic number for your Pro/Toolkit license. It may help for you to
consult whoever
administrates your Pro/E licenses.

How does one start pro/toolkit in wildfire 2.0.
Are they any good tutorials on using pro/toolkit.

Hi Kiran,

I think you need to set the environment variable as below


PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE

C:\Program Files\proeWildfire\i486_nt\obj\pro_comm_msg.exe

PRO_DIRECTORY

C:\Program Files\proeWildfire\bin


Thanks,
Karthikeyan.
