I have downloaded the file to my desktop, run through the install process and have a folder on my computer. However, I have NO idea where to go from here. There is no icon to open the program and several links within the folder. Please help a newbie figure out how to start the program! 🙂

    Hi Sharon,

    Thanks for your interest in Creo Elements/Pro.

    Did the installation complete?

    Do you see PTC > Pro/ENGINEER Schools Edition from the Start > Programs menu?

    If you had trouble with the install, I would recommend that you download the full media versustrying to install from the web. Here is the link.

    Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 Schools Edition DVD

    Please let us know and I will have one of my team members reach out to you. can you e-mail me you contact details at -.

    Regards,

    Mark

    If the students were to install Creo on a home pc, with either the download or the DVD download, would they need the Coaches email and PTC password to complete the install?

    Hi Chad,

    the students should create accounts via the link during installation.

    The added bonus is it will make it easier to add them to a Windchill project as well as enable them to participate on the Planet PTC forums. I keep encouraging our FRC students to comment, but so far they've been a little shy.
