Does it maybe work, if you use RMB and then choose Run as administrator?

What RMB is?
In windows Xp I copied purge.bat in my working directory and I ran It but now he same thing doesn't work.
I tried to "pause" the path in the purge.bat file and the result is the message

------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------
'x86e_win64_ptc_setvars' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
'ptc_setvars.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Could not find D:\Work\ptc_setvars.bat
The system cannot find the path specified

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
I have not any solution in my mind!

RMB = Right Mouse Button


Add the directory bin of your Pro/E installation to your system environment variable PATH.

And How can I do this in windows7?

Thank you very much for you answers!

OK, I've done what you said but purge doesn't work yet

 

[DonChunior]

At least the message regarding to the unrecognized command shouldn't show up any more, right?


Is there any new error message?

 

[RioT]

The error message is the same

The purge.bat should be run from the bin directory. Otherwise you may need to set the environment variable PRO_DIRECTORY.

I always use the Spekan Purge Tool.
You can download from many sites. This is one: http://www.prousercarolinas.org/tips/utilities.htm


In that same directory I just found CGN Purge. Seems like a nice purge tool too.

Open the folder you files are in using windows explorer.


Hold shift down and right mouse click.


Select open command window here.


Type in purge.


This will purge the older files.

Nice tip, too bad my windoze 7 install gives me this error message from explorer.EXE:

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action."

Nice one Mr. Bill.

The problem does not exist anymore.
I changed all purge.bat file like below

--------------------------------------------------------
@echo off

set start_cmd=start ""

"C:\"Proe directory"\i486_nt\obj\purge.exe" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
tc_end

echo Done!
pause
exit /B %ERRORLEVEL%
------------------------------------------------------------ ----

and now purge run so good!
Thanks a lot for all the answers. Enjoy

However I doubt the issue you faced is bacuse you were using a 32bit Pro/E on 64 bit OS and by default most of the options do not work if 32 bit s/w is executed on 64 bit OS???
