cdn_sfl401as.dll was not found while launching Orcad V16.3

tcmoore

 Has anyone else seen this error?  We installed Orcad V16.3, including the hotfix, yesterday, and it was working just fine.  I came in today and tried to launchOrcad Capture CIS, I get the following error window:

This application has failed to start because cdn_sfl401as.dll was not found.  Re-Installing the application may fix this problem.  I don't want to re-install every day!!  Any ideas out there?

 

Thanks,

 Todd Moore

    If you checked the PATH in the registry editor (regedit), you would probably see the PATH was a variable of type REG_SZ. For variable expansion to work, it needs to be type REG_EXPAND_SZ. Going into the My Computer property sheet may have reset the variable to the correct registry type.

    In the registry these are located @:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Enviroment -- user env variables

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]  - system variables
