Dear All
Only two products from PTC are free: PVX and Pro/Desktop Express. I have tried to install both but failed again and again. Any helpful comment/advice.
Thanks.
With Regards.

Both times I have installed PVX it has worked nicely. The process I use is to first update your browser - I use IE 5.0. Then, make sure that the Java Runtime Environment installation goes smoothly. Then, when everything has been updated/installed without problem, install PVX.

Then, when you double-click on ProE file in explorer, it will open in an IE/Java window, provided you have saved the file AFTER enabling all of the config options necessary to do so:
SAVE_MODEL_DISPLAY shading_lod
SAVE_DRAWING_PICTURE_FILE embed

Good luck.

For PVX, you have got the answer. The point to remember here is to install only that version of Java Runtime which it selects automatically during installation because I have tried it with newer versions of JREs & it does not work with them(integration problems).

The installation of Pro/Desktop 2000i2 or 2001 Express is straight-foreward & I have installed it on Win98, Win NT4, Win2000 & WinXP & on all OS, it is working fine. Can you tell me the specific problem you encounter during installation?
