I moved the cache pointer to the .psf file a couple of years ago and had no trouble with the move to Win7. The entry would be:
ENV=PTC_WF_ROOT=%USERPROFILE%\pro\WF4_test\PDMLink_Cache\PTC\ProENGINEER
You should not need the quotes. I don't allow spaces in any of my path names to begin with, so I avoid that issue.
The running process is nmsd. Kill that and you should be able to delete the folders.
In Reply to David Haigh:
I'm having another Windows 7 issue.
I have an existing startup script for testing new maintenance builds of ProE. Because I don't want to stomp all over my Production cache, I redirect the cache to another folder. All of this worked on XP. Now on Window 7, ProE crashes when I try to register the server.
My startup script looks like this:
set PTC_WF_ROOT="%USERPROFILE%\pro\WF4_test\PDMLink_Cache\PTC\ProENGINEER"
"P:\wf4-m200-64\proeWildfire 4.0\bin\proe.exe"
The windows short cut has the start in dir set to %USERPROFILE%\pro\WF4_test
After crashing, something is still active, because I can't delete the star in directory because Windows says "The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program. Close the folder or file and try again."
If I log out and log back in I can delete the folder. Not sure what process was left hanging by the crash because xtop is not running.
Stumped.
