File sync enabled worker for SolidWorks 2023 on Windows Server 2022, success stories?

[HJ1]

Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: Wondering if there's successful implementations of publish worker with File Synchronization for SolidWorks 2023 SP5.0 on virtual Windows Server 2022. Tried with (and some other combination also..) WWGM 12.1.2.1 and Creo View Adapters 10.1.0.0, but publish fails stubbornly with "WWGM ERROR: Loading addin "\x86e_win64\obj\swadapter_loader_net.dll" into SolidWorks failed". Windchill installation would be version 12.1.2.5 I know the above combination is not in the list of PTC tested combinations, but the one we have with SolidWorks 2021 is not either and it's working fine.

I had, but for some reason I don't recall I had tested defining environment variables as user variables, not system. Changing PTC_WGM_ROOT to system variables (CS351307) and clearing the temp worker files folders was all I did and publish was successful.

Thanks for the reminder 😉

so are you good?

Yes, I believe so! Not fully confident that the variables was all there was to it, but you know, if it works, it works...
