sBatch & PlotDate corrupted Pro/E

[dgschaefer]

WF4 32, Windows7 64



OK, so I downloaded and installed sBatch and PlotDate, formerly from
Spekan now part of the 'uTools' suite of Pro/E utilities from USG
Innotiv Product Development. I've heard good things about sBatch
specifically, and I've used sPurge for some time, so I wanted to give
them a try.



Well, this morning Pro/E would lock up at launch. I noticed that I now
have a 'uTools' menu showing and there was a splash screen from USG at
start up as well. I decided to uninstall them both.



Now, while Pro/E will launch, it has interfered with the batch files
that I use to run a trail fail at start up to load client configs via a
mapkey. The mapkey still works if I run it manually, so I assume that
the trail file isn't running for some reason. Also, I still have the
'uTools' menu and I still get the splash screen and I still have the
uTools menu. It's not in my config.win file, I've checked the date
stamp on those. Lastly, at startup I get this error message:







And I have this in my std.out file:



A pre 18.0 Pro/DEVELOP application "Spekan" was found.

For faster startup please add "REVISION 0.0" to C:\Program
Files\proeWildfire 4.0\text\protk.dat



How do I remove the rest of Spekan from my machine and restore the
running of my trail files at startup?

Hi Doug,

I simple method to remove the splash screen and uTools startup is to remove the following entries from the protk.dat (located at <proe_loadpoint>\text):

name uTools
startup java
java_app_class uTools
java_app_start start
java_app_stop stop
allow_stop true
delay_start false
java_app_classpath D:\ptc\proe31\text\java\uTools.jar
REVISION 0.0
end

Note: the entry REVISION 0.0 is used by PTC to activate faster startup (from WF5 on)
