PCD is not loaded

I'm trying to install the PCD in my Cadence, but it shows this error. I followed this document.

Any idea?

    Note, there is a dedicate PCell Designer forum; I'd have moved this there but there's an issue that I can't move posts which have attached images. So I'll answer it here.

    I have never seen this before. Can you add:

    _stacktrace=50
    sstatus(errsetTrace t)

    before the lines which load the context and see if it provides more info?

    Otherwise this will be one for customer support.

    OK, that doesn't show anything. The stack trace is entirely in your code and not within the context loading. Other than maybe the context having got corrupted somehow during download, I can't think of any reason for this.

    Please contact customer support. We'll need to do a deeper investigation.
