Installtion of PCB 17.4 does not set PATH environment variable

Arthur Ke

Hi, I recently installed 17.4 on win10, but it did not set the 'PATH' environment variable as before (ex: %CDSROOT%\tools\bin, etc)

This cause some third party tools or batch scripts that use extracta.exe to fail.

I don't know if this is an issue of installtion excutable, or should I manually re-add thees environment variables?

Regards

Arthur

    This is intended behaviour since 17.0 Cadence removed this requirement. There is nothing stopping you manually adding the path in again if you need to for your third party tools. You should just need to tools\bin directory.

    Ok, thanks for your answer. I am more confident that I am doing the right thing instead of messing it up.
