pro/e wildfire 4.0 std errors

I am running a classroom of xp pro computers with pro/e wildfire 4.0 student edition. When I am logged in under the administrator account and start the program everything works fine, but when logged in under a student profile which does not have full administrative access, I get errors on the desktop (std.err, std.out, trail.txt.#), and the program randomly shuts down. When I open up the std files the error's seem to always change. How can I setup the student profiles to run this program correctly? Giving the students full administrative rights is not an option.

    Have you got some solution for this?

    We used to face similar situation with ProE WF3 running with non-administrative access.

    Initially thought the ProE crash is due to graphics problem and tried changing the graphics settings in config.pro to win32_gdi.

    But it's of no use.

    Not sure why ProE requires admin access?

    Pro/E does not need administrator rights to run. But it needs write permission for the startup directory which you specify during installation or in the windows icon under #properties #execute in. The folder for trail files is named in the config.pro option trail_dir.

    Nachricht geändert durch Reinhard Nueckel If you dont specify anything, Pro/E under Windows will grab the program files\... \loadpoint\bin folder, from which it was started. To write to this folder you need administrative rights.
