Software Requirements and Helper Applications
For Windows installations, all of the software requirements are automatically met when you install from one of these locations:
• Product DVD
• WindchillSoftware Downloads page
• CreoView_64.exe executable file
If you install the application as an administrator directly from the MSI file, the software prerequisites are not automatically met. See
Deploying Creo View and Customizing the Installation for more information.
Microsoft C++ Runtimes are required for installing and running Creo View. The required C++ runtimes are shipped with Creo View and installed automatically if needed. If you already have C++ Runtime, the installation is not modified.
Other helper applications are shipped and automatically installed with Creo View:
• Creo View Files Tools—Used for transforming or optimizing Creo View data.
• Creo View ECAD Adapters—Required for natively viewing the supported ECAD file formats.
Creo View ECAD Adapters is installed automatically only with the DVD installer. See
Installers for Creo View for more information.
• pview_batch.exe tool—Useful for scripting or troubleshooting.
