Error Message

SandyM
SandyM over 15 years ago

When I double click on a .brd file or .opj file I get the following error message (The procedure entry point iRedsPIInitConfiguration could not be located in the dynamic link library consmgr.dll). I can find other error messages that sort of relate to this in Sourcelink but not specifically this message. I have multiple versions of Allegro on my PC and am currently using 16.2 L. We use Windows XP.

I have tried deleting the associations for the .opj and .brd and manually adding them back but that's not working either. Any help would be appreciated.

     You should use the Cadence switchversion program to assign the file associations. The error message indicates that you are accessing an allegro.exe from one release and you have your PATH variable pointing to a difference release. Once you use the switchversion program to assign file associations the association will change automatically when you switch releases.
