Hello all,
I've have downloaded and installed ORCAD 16.6 Lite but I get the following error when I start a PSPICE simulation:
"ERROR(15053): Can not initialize PSpice UI"
Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve it?
I believe you are trying to run PSpice simulation from Capture. Can you try running PSpice from Start menu first and then again try starting PSpice simulation?
Couple of things you could try...
a) Please check you Path variable does not exceed 2048 - see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2685893
b) If you had this problem after running installer (other than Cadence installer) - you may want to reboot your machine and check if problem goes away. Some installers incorrectly change the windows Path to non-expandable which causes issues as CDSROOT variable stops expanding in Path variable. Windows OS corrects this error on reboot automatically.
One way to check if the problems are being caused from above issues is to open a command window (cmd.exe), run capture.exe from it and see if you are able to invoke the tool.
How to "run capture.exe from the command window"?
Thank you very much.
I open the command window (cmd.exe), run capture.exe from it and the tool got invoked, but the problem still exist.
Regards,
Petar
