When export board to ODB++, it ask to download the Valor ODB++ software.

I download Valor ODB++ Inside packing (Allegro links)
After download complete, run the  install, There is error "Can not get the 'path' data."

Every time I use export/ODB++ , it always ask to download again like above.

Anybody use Valor ODB++ and I need some instruction to fix my error

 Thanks in advance

    Make sure you have admin rights when you install Valor. It needs to add an environment variable ALLEGRO_BRD2ODB = C:\valor\ODB++Inside and a path of %ALLEGRO_BRD2ODB%/nv/bin and if you don't have admin rights it will not be able to add these variables.

    I have re-install it with admin rights, the same error still popup, it still keep in the same popup error that the ALLEGRO_BD2ODB system not defined.

    I even added the following variable to the set and path.  

    valor3.bmp

    It is not working.

    Is there any other to go around it?

    Please help.

    Your ODB++ Inside paths don't look correct to me. The path should contain: C:\Valor\ODB++Inside;C:\Valor\ODB++Inside\nv\bin Move the %ALLEGRO_BRD2ODB% paths to the end of your path. Valor's find command is possibly conficting with the Windows find command which may be being used elsewhere. Regards, Dave
