David,

I am just curious.... Why did you install PTC Portmapper ?

Martin Hanak


Martin Hanák

I am unsure as to why it was installed. It wasn't something I specifically installed must have came in with something else that was selected during our install.

According to my knowledge, PTC Portmapper is necessary to install when user uses CADDS5 system. So uninstall it using Windows UI and never install again.


Martin Hanák

I need a silent uninstall string. Windows UI is not an option for my customers.

Creo 2.0 can be uninstalled using following command

C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin\uninstall.exe –quiet

See https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS127329

I don't have the uninstall for the PTC Portmapper however I have used the following for other PTC components. I think it would be similar to the Parametric and Simulate removal commands:

start /w "" "%UNINSTALLPATH%" -quiet

Here is code from my Creo installer that removes the old stuff

echo Starting removal of Creo Platform...>>%LOG%
echo Starting removal of Creo Platform...
start /w msiexec.exe /x "C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Common Files\%OLDBUILD%\install\addon\creoagent_32_64.msi" /q
rem sleep 5 seconds (5 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping)
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 -w 1000 > NUL

(set PARAMETRICPATH=C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Parametric\bin\uninstall.exe)

(set SIMULATEPATH=C:\ptc\Creo 2.0\Simulate\bin\uninstall.exe)

echo Starting removal of Creo Parametric...>>%LOG%

echo Starting removal of Creo Parametric...

start /w "" "%PARAMETRICPATH%" -quiet

rem sleep 20 seconds (20 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping) - required to prevent error
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 20 -w 1000 > NUL


echo Starting removal of Creo Simulate...>>%LOG%
echo Starting removal of Creo Simulate...
start /w "" "%SIMULATEPATH%" -quiet
rem sleep 20 seconds (20 pings at 1000 milliseconds per ping)

Thank you great information!
