READONLY Issue with private LIBRARY1.OLD with Capture 17.2-2016 SO83 only on first open of Project

Well, after well over 1 year since I posted this question that no one could answer, I finally figured it out myself.

I found that something was corrupted in my LIBARY1.OLB file.  The way I resolved it was by doing the following:

1. In OrCAD Capture, open LIBRARY1.OLB, choose File-->Export-->Library XML...
   
   
2. Rename the library1.xml to something new (e.g. library_mycompany.xml)
   
   
3. Edit mycompany_library.xml with a text editor and change the line near the top from:
   <Defn name="c:\users\<myfolder>\library1.olb"/>
   to
   <Defn name="c:\users\<myfolder>\library_mycompany.olb"/>
   
   
4. Open OrCAD Capture again and choose File-->Import-->Library XML...
   
   
5. Save the newly created library and project thereafter and close it.
   
   
6. The next time you open your schematic projects that used the old and problematic LIBRARY1.OLB file, add in the duplicate new library, LIBRARY_MYCOMPANY.OLB and delete LIBRARY1.OLB from the schematic project, save it and close it.
   
   
7. Completely close OrCAD Capture
   
   
8. Reopen OrCAD Capture for a true test of the issue.
   
   
9. Open your Schematic project again with the new library attached and viola, no more READONLY error upon first opening!
   
   

Hopefully this helps someone else since I've suffered with it now for almost 5 years.

Thanks for your effort in finding AND posting the solution!  I had the same problem and submitted problem reports but no one was able to solve it. Your steps above appear to have fixed the problem for me.  THANKS!
