Hi forstudy3.
Am using WF 4 and Visual Basic 2008 Express.
I need to start a new proe session in non-graphic
mode.Here's the different versions of the code i've used:

CCAsyCon.Start("D:\ptc\proeWildfire 4.0" + " -
g:no_graphics -i:rpc_input", ".")

CCAsyCon.Start("D:\ptc\proeWildfire 4.0\bin" + " -
g:no_graphics -i:rpc_input", ".")

CCAsyCon.Start("pro -g:no_graphics -i:rpc_input", ".")

Its not connecting with any of the codes.Showing these
messages in the output window:
A first chance exception of type
'System.ArgumentException' occurred in
ConsoleApplication2.exe
A first chance exception of type
'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in
ConsoleApplication2.exe

The proe vb api is referenced correctly.
Can anybody help out?

1)Have you checked environment variables "PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE" and "PRO_DIRECTORY".
2)start method should get called as - aSynchConnect = (New CCpfcAsyncConnection).Start(exePath + " -
g:no_graphics -i:rpc_input", ".")

Yes the environment variables are correct.And my actual
code is:
CCAsyCon = New CCpfcAsyncConnection
asyncConnection = CCAsyCon.Start(exePath + " -
g:no_graphics -i:rpc_input", ".")

When i run this am getting the error -

"pfcExceptions::XToolkitNoLicense at
pfcls.CCpfcAsyncConnectionClass.Start(String_CmdLine,Obje
ct_TextPath)"

Any clue on this error?
Thanks.

"ToolkitNoLicense" Seems you dont have toolkit license.

 

[hijacker]

I have all the required licenses.I even have a licensed
Pro/Toolkit.

Apart from that what else is needed?

 

[hijacker]

Okay.The above error doesnt show up when i restart my
Flexnet Server.But then after each execution of the
Program,it throwsup the error.Everytime i need to restart
the Flexnet Server.

actually it should not supposed to work this way. Are you getting license exception for all Pro/Toolkit types? or Only for vbapi? What happens if you restart license server and run , does this runs succesfully?

Also note PTC distributes seperate seat for Pro/Toolkit. You can check available ProTk license by running ptcstatus batch file.

Hi.ThankYou for your reply.
I've resolved the error.
I forgot to end the session.My license is for a single
user.So whenever a sessions overlaps,an error popped up.So
after completing the operations in each session,the session
needed to be closed and i had forgot to do that!
Working perfect now though a bit slow!
Still a doubt persist..cant we use non-graphic mode in
synchronous methods cz asynchronous seems to be pretty
slow?
