Unable to connect to the existing Creo Parametric process using ProEngineerConnect

[skadam-5]

I am running asynchronous application in batch process mode.

When I try to connect the application with the existing creo session using ProEngineerConnect, it is returning error PRO_TK_CANT_MODIFY.

I have set the environment variable PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE also.

How did you set the PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE variable? Is it set correctly?

Is nmsd.exe process running? Can you read anything from the trail file?

[skadam-5]

I have set the PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE as a system variable.

From cmd it is able to get its value.

Also nmsd.exe and pro_comm_msg.exe processes are running.

API returns 'PRO_TK_CANT_MODIFY'.

I have tried by disable firewall settings also.

Including the file name in the variable, made it to connect.

Earlier I used only the path of the exe. But now I am using the full path with the exe name also.

Thanks Tomas for the help.

You are welcome. Yes, you have always to use the full path.
