Problem Installing Orcad 16.2

philip85

 Hi, I am having difficulty when installing Orcad 16.2 on my Vista 64-bit machine. It is the demo version of Orcad. I do not understand what the readme means by saying you must 'extract the archive using the path\folder option'. I just proceeded and unzipped the file as I normally would. the install then seems to work fine until the very end when after I have said 'yes' to associating the various file associations with Orcad, then all the various programs, Captue CIS, Layout, PSpice open up saying they have encountered a problem and are not working. What could I be doing wrong?

    hey by  path/folder it means dat wen u rght click a rar file to extract it then it shows an option taht says extract to [name]\   folder   ..............for instance it is a abc.rar file den rght click it to select extract to abc\ 

    i jst guess dat might help u 2 install orcad

     When you download the program they break it into four zip files. You need to extract each zip folder into the same location e.g. C:\CadenceInstall

    When you un-zip the file you should make sure that the file stucture in which is was zipped remains instact. You should end up with the a folder that constains the following.

    setup.ini,autorun.inf,setup.exe, LibCD, Disk1,Disk2,Disk3, Autoplay

    That's it
