OrCAD Capture indicating a Startup Issue

cstocci52

Hi,

Every time I start OrCAD Schematic Capture, I get the following error in the Session Log window:

"ERROR:Could not launch sync utility.Check in Window Task Manager if an instance of sync utility running,if not
Run capStartSyncUtility in Capture Tcl Command window to restart it."

I tried to find this capStartSyncUtility TCL script, but it is not on my machine.  Also. there is no mention of this TCL script being implemented in the Capture.INI file.

What is this and can I either disable the issue or how to fix it so I do not keep getting this error message?

Running Cadence Allegro X 23.10.008 on Windows 11 Pro 24H2.
