Launching ADE L fails when simulator set to eldoD_sp in cds.env

Hi,

I have installed IC617, Mentor Graphics AMS and Artist Link to integrate Eldo simulator with Virtuoso. I have followed the installation steps carefully as per the documentation. I have set  "eldoD_sp" as the default simulator in .cdsenv.

When I try to launch ADE L from Schematic Editor window, ADE doesn't open and I see following message in command window.

*WARNING* hiCreatePulldownMenu: The menu must contain at least 1 entry
*Error* putprop: first arg must be either symbol, list, defstruct or user type - nil

*WARNING* (DEBASE-102079): A SKILL error occurred in function artMenuTrigger

 If the default simulator is set to "spectre", ADE can be launched. But as soon as "eldoD_sp" is set as simulator in the setup menu, the same error occurs and the menus in the menubar disappears on ADE L window.

Could anyone point me in right direction to figure this problem out. I had just one custom skill file in the setup and I have disabled loading of it in .cdsinit to make sure it wasn't the reason for this error.

Thanks,
