### Using the ProCommMsgExe Entry

This entry contains the full path of the executable to launch the communication tool used to communicate with Pro/ENGINEER.

Replace the default value of None with the full path of the communication tool executable.

- In version 3.25 and earlier, you had to create an environment variable called Pro_Comm_Msg_Exe that pointed to the actual executable of the communication tool.

- In version 3.5 and later if PC-DMIS cannot find this environment variable, it looks for the pathway stored in this entry of the Settings Editor. If the proper pathway exists, PC-DMIS creates the appropriate environment variable, allowing Pro/ENGINEER to run in batch mode.

This option value is located in the [ProEngineer]section of the Settings Editor. See "Setting Advanced Registry Options: Introduction" for information on changing Settings Editor values.
