Thanks Dave,
I received an error as a limited user. I'm guessing from the Java console that because I'm denied access to write on C:, the program wouldn't continue. Anyway to parse to a user's temp directory?

Have updated the program.
Copy the exe file in a directory where you must have write access!
Doesn't matter where you copy the file.
Very first time you opens the program necessary files are been created.
Then you never have to worry what happens it all works automatically.
Please have a look if your problem is solved now.
OS : windows xp

Here is another way to determine the version, release and service pack of a CATPart. A bit messy, but quick.
Keep in mind it will take awhile for large files.
Go to the directory where the CATPart is and right click on the CATPart and open with either Wordpad or Notepad.
Perform a "Find" on "minimalversiontoread". No spaces.
You'll get the info as shown below.

Added servicepack, builtdate, hotfix number
1)RESULT :
2)INSTALLATION
Copy exe into folder (You must have write access in the folder!)
Open explorer
click advanced
new
And done
Now in explorer a contextmenu CATIA_VERSION is added when you rightclick on a catpart.

yes, great job Dave.
I was wondering, if it would be possible to create/support also a handy portable version.
-> start the application and drag&drop files (CATparts) on the GUI ? |

ydoering,
What exactly you wanna see on that GUI?
a Form where you can see in a datagrid all files you drag/drop (or rightclick) with Release/sp/...
Can you please explain more what you wanna see on the form? Then I'll have a look to built the program. (if it's not to difficult :p )
regards Dave |

Dave, I like the program. Thanks. One question though, I am using Vista 64 and instead of the menu pick being "Catia Version" is shows up as "testreg". This appears to be the Description/Product name in the file properties. Can this be changed? |

Hi
Another way to check CATIA version of the part. If you have the part opened in Catia, just go to Desk and right click on it, then go to properties and you will see the version, release and service pack.
Thanks
