File extensions stripped

I just did an installation of Windchill 11.0 M030 CPS16 on a Windows Server 16 OS.

When I went to look in some of the folders, all of the files have lost their file extensions and are lists as just a file.

Example: dsjavaproperties does not have the .bat on the end and when run, none of the commands in the file execute as the OS does not recognize the commands in the file. Renaming the file to dsjavaproerties.bat shoes it now as a Windows Batch file, but it still gives errors when executed.

Has anyone else had this issue with Windows Server 2016? The install works fine on Windows Server 2012.

How do I fix this without removing and reinstalling everything?

You shouldn't look at bin subfolder, but bat !

Hi Ben,

Likely not related to Windchill.

In your server's Windows Explorer, select View, then check the box for File Name Extensions.

May also want to check Hidden Files.

Mike,

I did both of those and the file extension in a File Explorer shows the file type as File, not Windows Batch File.

Additional comment:

I just checked the Oracle server, running the same OS, and those files installed properly.

Did a further check and it seems to only be the files under WindchillDS.

The files in the Windchill/bin folder have the proper extensions and type is listed properly.

Maybe right click, Properties, screen capture - show here.

Seems very odd. We've got things running on 2012, 2016, 2019 all w/no issue.
