74 Troubleshooting


Common 74 Opening Problems

Pro/ENGINEER is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open 74 Files" when trying to open your 74. If so, it typically means that you don't have Pro/ENGINEER installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your 74 with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When another 74 application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Pro/ENGINEER is Out-of-Date

Your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file is incompatible with Pro/ENGINEER because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Pro/ENGINEER version from the PTC website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file was created by a newer Pro/ENGINEER than what you have installed.


Tip: Investigate your 74 file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Summary: Not having the right Pro/ENGINEER version on your computer can cause problems opening 74 files.


Associated Difficulties Loading 74 Files

You can still experience errors opening 74 files even with the latest version of Pro/ENGINEER installed on your PC. Other 74 opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • 74 file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry 74 description
  • Corrupt install of Pro/ENGINEER or other 74-related program
  • Something has caused file corruption of your 74
  • Your 74 has adversely impacted by malware
  • Drivers associated with 74 software need to be updated
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file successfully
