Unable to Launch PSI on Windows 10

I m trying to launch PSI on Windows 10 resulted opening in notpad

( I know windows 10 is not supported but for POC purpose or dev we can install it on Windows 10)

 

Any one have some input on this ? 

 

Referred below article but issue persistent.

Confused a bit but it seems that setup.vbs just opened in Notepad for edit? Sounds like a filetype association. This appears to be your issue:

Now as far as being on supported OS, I have gotten Windchill (older versions) to execute on Windchill 10 and 7 back in the day. Very convenient having Dev environment easily accessible on my laptop. The PSI might puke if they put in a check to detect non-compliant OS. I have not tried with 11.2 or higher and certainly you get no support from PTC. As the preacher said in Blazing Saddles, "Your on your own." I have gotten comfortable running in a VM on a Red Hat since it mimic test and prod very closely.

I've always had a laptop install for same purpose. Currently have 12.0 on my Windows 10 laptop.

I remember that there was some mystery getting PSI to launch and forgot now exactly how I solved it.

 

Installed Java (Amazon Corretto), both 1.8 and 1.11 because I'm still using DS.

Then, set Env Var's for both:

- LAX_VM   C:\AmazonCorrettoJava\jdk11.0\bin\java.exe

- JAVA_HOME    C:\AmazonCorrettoJava\jdk11.0

 

Have to launch setup.vbs from an admin command window.

One other thought comes to mind.

Sometimes (I don't know what triggers), you have to "unblock" the zip file downloaded from PTC before extracting it.  I routinely see if they are blocked now.

A second suggestion I was going to make it to install from the 12.0.0.0 media rather that from the Solutions Installer in a CPS, but it appears that you are doing that.  I've seen many times that the 0.0.0 solutions installer installs on a laptop where the same from a CPS does not.

 

Other than that, don't know what to suggest but will think about it some more.
