Install the Vault Add-In for Pro/ENGINEER

Use the setup wizard to install the Vault Add-In for Pro/ENGINEER; alternatively, you can manually install it.

Before You Start

You must install the Vault Professional Client before you can install the Vault Add-In for Pro/ENGINEER.

Install Using the Wizard

Run the setup wizard to install both the server and client software for the Vault Add-In for Pro/ENGINEER. If there are unexpected issues while installing the client software with the wizard, or if you prefer to install manually, follow the manual installation steps in this topic.

Install the Client Software Manually

1. Run the setup wizard if you have not already done so.
   This unpacks the files needed for manual installation; their default destination is:

   C:\Programm Files\Autodesk\Data Management Applications\Autodesk Vault Pro 2014 ProE AddIn\

   The expected files are:

   Autodesk.Connectivity.Extensibility.Framework.dll
   Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.Framework.dll
   Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.dll
   Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.dll
   Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault.dll
   Autodesk.Interop.VltCadAdapter.dll
   Autodesk.Interop.VltProe.WF5W764.dll
   Autodesk.Interop.VltProe.Managed.dll
   VltProeCOMCallback.dll
   DWFPreview.exe

2. One of the files, Autodesk.Interop.VltProe.WF5W764.dll, is specific to Windows 7© x64 with Wildfire 5. If you are using a different version of Windows, you should obtain the appropriate DLL file and place it in this folder.
3. Make sure that VltProeCOMCallback.dll is registered in the Windows© environment. Do this using the appropriate RegAsm tool (32- or 64-bit) for your computer:

   RegAsm VltProeCOMCallback.dll /codebase

4. Make sure your installation folder is included in the Windows Path system variable.
5. Go to the Text subfolder of the add-in installation folder.
6. Open protk.dat for editing.
   Its contents should look similar to the following:

   Name VLT2014_ProE_AddIn
   STARTUP dll
   EXEC_FILE <VLT_PROE_INSTALL_DIR>\ Autodesk.Interop.VltProe.WF5W764.dll
   TEXT_DIR <VLT_PROE_INSTALL_DIR>\text
   ALLOW_STOP TRUE
   DELAY_START FALSE
   END

   <VLT_PROE_INSTALL_DIR> is a symbolic installation path of the add-in. You will need to change this.

7. Replace both instances of <VLT_PROE_INSTALL_DIR>with the actual installation path of the add-in; for example:

   ...
   EXEC_FILE C:\Programm Files\Autodesk\Data Management Applications\Autodesk Vault Pro 2014 ProE AddIn\ Autodesk.Interop.VltProe.WF5W764.dll
   TEXT_DIR C:\Programm Files\Autodesk\Data Management Applications\Autodesk Vault Pro 2014 ProE AddIn\text
   ...

8. If necessary, in the line that begins with EXEC_FILE, replace Autodesk.Interop.VltProe.WF5W764.dll with the appropriate DLL file name for your version of Windows.
9. Optional: To change tooltips or menu names, edit vault_menusmsg.txt.

   Autodesk does not recommend changing default interface settings such as these; find more information in the Pro/ENGINEER documentation.
