Installation of Pro-E wildfire-4 32 bit version

[bala1988]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to install a 32 bit version of Pro-e Wildfire-4 on my Windows-7 64 bit OS machine. Is it possible to install a 32 bit version on a 64 bit OS system?

If the answer is yes.. What all precautions I should take while installing it?

Thanks in advance for all your replies.

Regards,

Bala.

Bala,

it is possible to use Pro-e Wildfire-4 32-bit on Windows-7 64 bit OS machine. In case that setup.exe will not work, you can copy installation from 32-bit machine. I expect that it would be necessary to edit psf file in ProE\bin directory - see below.

Martin,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you explain a bit more on copying installation file from 32 bit machine. Which all files should I copy from the 32 bit system?

Hoping for your reply eagerly...

Bala,

if ProE WF4 installation directory is C:\PTC\ProE_WF4 then create C:\PTC directory on W7 64bit machine and copy the whole ProE_WF4 into it. My installation contains 31 738 Files, 639 Folders and has size 2,70 GB. You can create ZIP file on source machine, copy it on target machine and unzip it on targent machine (if you want).

At the end modify PATH environment variable, add C:\PTC\ProE_WF4\bin path into it.
