OrCAD install killed Oracle VirtualBox

vamm

Installed Orcad demo and now Oracle VirtualBox is redirected to C:\SPB_data instead of c:\users\owner.VirtualBox.

This killed my virtual machine firmware development environment. 

C:\SPB_data directory did not exist until the OrCAD install.

    Trying to get an answer in a thread started 9 years ago in the wrong forum is not a great way to get a response. This forum is for issues with the forum itself, not for technical questions.

    I suggest you post a new question in the "PCB Design" forum which is a much more sensible place to ask questions. Nearly all posts in this forum are posted in the wrong place and as one of the moderators I frequently move them to the right place. In this case I'm not going to move a 9 year old thread though - it's far better to start a new one and have somebody with Orcad expertise answer it.

    I wasn't looking for an answer here, I just switched back my HOME variable to the original location. This thread is one of only a few responses that came up when did a Google search for HOME and SPB_Data.

    The last response from @alokt that says that it does not alter or overwrite the HOME variable, which is wrong as it just did. My response was for future people that find this thread.
