Proe5 / creo elements plugin will not start

[nielsc]

Hi

I cannot get the ProE plug-in (new 2.2) to work on my ProE 5.0 / Creo elements M170 runing 64bit

I'm getting an application unknown error and it does not start - see attachment for error

This is not working on my production setup and just to be sure that the ProE installation is ok, I have made
a new clean ProE installation on a clean Windows7 but that does not work either

Any ideas?

Best regards

Try installing/updating the components from Visual C++(2005,2008,2010). We are working on improving this.

Assume this is the Visual Basic API or Pro/Toolkit that are part of ProE installation?

It was installed on my production installation but not on the clean installation - tried to install
but did not helt

Just checking the installation files of the plug-in: the file keyshot4_proe5_plugin.dll seems relatively old.
It's is dated 23-05-2013 13.07 size 15.1MB
Could this be too old??

The error message below indicates that there is a mismatch on the proe version as my
application for Edrawings show the version 29 but for Keyshot is is unknown

Tried to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x64) - 11.0.60610 as the attempt
to install version 2010 gave the message that newer files were present

Still no luck

Hey Nielsc,
had the same Problem a month ago.

I ask the IT department to reinstall Keyshot and the plugin. It was realy importent that they did it with the Administrator Account

Also we installed the following runtime library:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/B/4/8B42259F-5D70-43F4-AC2E-4B208FD8D66A/vcredist_x64.EXE

Best Regards and good luck!

Thank you that worked.

It must be the Run As Administrator that did the job as i have tried to install
the additional files before

Don' know if wrong but i had to add the menu points manually

I've tried it all, and it's still not working for me.

Installed VisualC++ and .NET
Reinstalled both keyshot and plug-in as administrator.

Does anybody know what could be wrong?

Maybe you have some screenshots?
