The Pro-e Data Migration command assumes that Pro/Engineer version 2001 or Wildfire is installed on a computer somewhere on your network. Solid Edge is not compatible with Pro/Engineer versions prior to 2001.
Before getting started with any data translations, you must run a setup procedure on the computer where Pro/Engineer 2001 is installed.
For more information, see:
For Solid Edge to successfully start the ProE application you must modify the ProE startup procedure in the PROE2SE.ini file, located in the Solid Edge Program folder. To do this, modify the parameter ProeStartup=Proe2001 to the full path location for proe.exe. For example: ProeStartup=c:\Program Files\proewildfire 4.0\bin\proe.exe.
Also, to get the Proe data migration tool to work properly, you need to set the PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE Environment variable. Navigate to the Start menu Control Panel/Systems and Security/System Properties and modify the environment variable to display the full path for PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE . For example: PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE=C:/program Files/proe2001\i486_nt\obj/pro_comm_msg.exe.
