Editing the PROPERTY Node
You can edit the following name attributes of the PROPERTY node:
INSTALLBASE
Use the INSTALLBASE name attribute to change the root path for installing the Creo Schematics in the current session. You can change the INSTALLBASE name attribute in the Creo Schematics application (schematics.p.xml) XML file. The default value is usually the PTC folder under the Program Files folder.
• Before editing the INSTALLBASE name attribute, the PROPERTY node appears as shown:
<PROPERTY name="[INSTALLBASE]">"F:Program Files\PTC"</PROPERTY>
• After editing the INSTALLBASE name attribute, the PROPERTY node appears as shown:
<PROPERTY name="[INSTALLBASE]">"[PROGRAMFILES]\PTC"</PROPERTY>
The [PROGRAMFILES] variable in the above example represents the default program location on a local computer. You can use this variable instead of the absolute path F:\Program Files to make the default program location accessible on all the computers. For a 32-bit application running on a 64-bit computer, you can also use the [PROGRAMFILESx86] variable as shown in the following example:
<PROPERTY name="[INSTALLBASE]">"[PROGRAMFILESx86]\PTC"</PROPERTY>
The [PROGRAMFILESx86 variable represents the default program location for a 32-bit application on a 64-bit computer.
