Hi,

how did you unzip MED-100WIN-CD-410_M030_Win64.zip file ?

Suggestion: Use 7-zip 9.20 for unzipping.

What to do ...

• uninstall all Creo 4.0 components (to locate them easily in program list, sort the list by date in Installed On column
• do not clean C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing directory ... it must contain valid license file (its name contains BE410708EDSTUDENTEDK12 text)
• install Creo 4.0 from scratch ... do not enter Product Code, instead of it put the path to license file into field in Source column (maybe the path will be already available there)

Hi Martin

Yes I used 7zip to uninstall the folder.

Still no luck installing the software with your recommendation.

Please see attached file for all the steps I followed.

Kind regards, 

Iain

Hi,

unfortunatelly I do not know what is wrong on your computer 😞

Suggestions:

1.) uninstall Creo 4.0 items marked on following picture

2.) uninstall PTC Diagnostic Tools item

Prepare different installation directory. If I were you I would create PTC subdirectory in D:\ and CR4_M030 subdirectory in PTC. My installation path would be D:\PTC\CR4_M030

3.) If you place mouse cursor on "i" button, you will see error message. Please do it.

Hi

I had the same problem, couldn't install CREO 4.0. The first line in the installation window software tries to install CREO Platform Agent, if unsuccessful it will not install the rest of the components. 

I installed first PTC CREO 4 Platform services (in my case C:\Download\MED-100WIN-CD-410_M060_Win64\install\addon\creosvcs_64.exe), that way CREO Platform Agent 4 was installed, after that CREO 4.0 install was successful.

I ended up installing 3.0 and then installing 4.0

this issue disappeared, however i kept getting a licence issue when opening the program.
