No buttons in Wildfire 4

[justgeo]

We recently upgraded to Pro/E Wildfire 2 to Wildfire 4. After upgrading the buttons stopped working on my SpacePilot. I downloaded and installed 3DxWare3.6.11 but still no luck. My Pilot manipulates the objects with no problem but I receive an error when I launch Pro/E. It says:

Pro/TOOLKIT registry file C:\ptc2008\proeWildfire\text\protk.dat:
Cannot spawn application ‘3DxProENGINEER’; read error ‘No such file or directory’

I have relocated the 3Dconnection directory to \ ptc2008\proeWildfire and updated the protk.dat to look in the right location. My protk.dat now reads:

name 3DxProENGINEER
startup dll
exec_file $ptc2008\proeWildfire\3DxProENGINEERWF4\i486_nt\obj\3dxProe.dll
text_dir $TEMP\3DxProENGINEER
end

Help?

XP SP2
Intel 2.66GHz

Wildfire 4.0, M030

Hi,

What happens if you try the following:

A) Start - Run...
B) Type cmd
C) Click OK
D) Type:

Code: Select all

dir $ptc2008\proeWildfire\3DxProENGINEERWF4\i486_nt\obj\3dxProe.dll

It seems as the directory is not correct...

Thanks for replying rstadie.
When I typed the path at the command prompt I recieved:

The system cannot find the path specified.

However if I change the $ to a c:\ it has no problem finding the path. So I replaced the $ in my protk.dat file with a c:\ and it now seems to be working.

I'm not sure why it didn't work with the $ but things are looking good now.

Thanks again!
