Pro/E Schools Edition

[ptc-2631575]

I have recently downloaded the free copy of pro/e for schools edition. But on start up a window opens and it says 'Choose StartUp Directory' and within the window it says 'No Write Access to C:\Windows\ Then its asks me to choose a new startup directory, but when i can't seem to get past that box, what directory should i choose. Cheers Alex

Hi Alexander, The startup directory is the default folder that pro/E start up in. During the installation you can define what that folder will be. By default, Pro/E uses your “My Documents�. I tend to recommend that you choose another folder. Something like C:\proedata. Basically the folder needs to be full read/write access by all users on the machine. To fix this, right click on the startup icon on the desktop and choose Properties. Change the start in field to a desired full access folder. Close the properties dialog and start Pro/E. You should be all set. Thanks, Mark
