Can NOT purge

[sliu-2]

Hi,

I have Creo 2.0 M090 installed on my laptop. I clicked Utilities>open system window. Then I input purge and execute it. I was told 'purge is not recognized as an internal or external command,....', see attached image. Anybody who knows what's going on here?

Thanks in advance!

go to my computer > properties> advanced> environment variables> enter user variables " PATH" value "D:\Ptc\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin" your default creo installation location.

Hi Jayanta,

Thanks. My issue solved. But I have a further question: Why add purge.bat location to Variable 'PATH' will work?

Here is the thing, I checked my System Variables, I don't have PATH variables. So I added PATH and ONLY put purge.bat location, it won't work until I copy my colleage's PATH value (Which have several locations including purge.bat location). Can you explain this?

Thanks,

Sylar

Sylar,

you have to modify environment variable PATH and add a path similar to the following one at the end of definition:

C:\PTC\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin
