Hi,

You need to go My Computer>Right Click>Properties>Advanced System Settings then

Environment Variables and add PRO_COMM_MSG.EXE as variable name and path of file as variable value
which is like C:\Program Files (x86)\proeWildfire 4.0\i486_nt\obj\pro_comm_msg.exe
Place it in system variable section and do a restart.


Unfortunately. I found your message while I was having the same problem. This did not help me but I hope it solves your problem..

When you add Environment Variables do not add PRO_COMM_MSG.EXE but PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE this solved it for me.
