Error with ORCAD 16.5

James P
The Error: ERROR(ORCAP-1030): The installation did not complete successfully. Cannot proceed. To rectify this error, close AMS..., run the following command by using the Start - Run menu option from the taskbar and restart the AMS...: installed path \\tools\\bin\\Pspiceexplorersrvr.exe /regserver Steps I have taken to try to solve it: I tried the exact line of code in an elevated mode command prompt, and in the Run menu. I have tried to create a batch file that would unregister and then register it again. I have uninstalled and re-installed ORCAD 16.5. I have run Cadence.exe in compatibility mode (Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3) I have looked for tips on Google, which all lead me to other peoples problems with earlier versions, on here, but none of the solutions they post help in my siuation. So, I'm at my wits end to how to fix this problem. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated. Thanks, James Popenhagen

  • Reboot the system (or close all cadence process from process tree), launch capture, try following command from command window (View>ToolBar>Command Window)

    DboTclHelper_ReRegisterOrCADPlugins

    This should configure your machine properly. 

  • I am having the same problem since my 16.5 install over the weekend (Vista Home Premium).

    I followed the advice given by alokt above and also given back on 8/25/2011 here:

    /forums/T/20143.aspx

    The advice given does not solve the problem (for me):

    1)  When entering DboTclHelper_ReRegisterOrCADPlugins at the command line prompt in Capture I also got the following

    invalid command name "DboTclHelper_ReRegisterOrCADPlugins"

    2) When following the second set of instructions given (as I am running the LITE demo) there was no resulting change:

    Open a dos command window in administrator mode

    use following command from there

    <INSTALLDIR>\tools\bin\PSpiceexplorersrvr.exe / regserver

    <INSTALLDIR>\tools\PSpice\simsrvr.exe / regserver

    Where <INSTALLDIR> is install location for your system. Replace this by actual value.

     

    I am eager to follow this thread and work to resolve this issue !

  • If I use the code given by alokt, I just get a blank line. Then it changes nothing. Still the same error. Instead of keeping 16.5, I went back to 16.2 because I really needed a working version for homework. So, the problem remains for me for 16.5, but I am not longer using 16.5. So, I don't have this problem with 16.2. Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it. I'll leave this open so that anyone else with this problem can look through it to see if they can get a fix. If there are any other solutions feel free to post them so that others may benefit.

  • I am glad to hear that you are having luck with 16.2 to get through your homework.  I am busy evaluating this suite of tools as an engineering lab resource and will need to elevate this issue to my local sales team.  For now, continuing with trying to solve the problem on my own, I have more details to document:

    1) Per the instructions given here:

    /forums/p/13142/21800.aspx#21800

    I created a batch file with the following commands:


    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\bin\PSpiceExplorerSrvr.exe /unregserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\SimSrvr.exe /unregserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\pspice.exe /unregserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\simmgr.exe /unregserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\MrkSrvr.exe /unregserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\bin\PSpiceExplorerSrvr.exe /regserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\SimSrvr.exe /regserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\pspice.exe /regserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\simmgr.exe /regserver
    C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.5_Lite\tools\pspice\MrkSrvr.exe /regserver

    Executing these commands before starting PSpice and Capture has no effect on the problem (for me).

     

    2) The following error information appears in the Command Window of Capture at startup (I have selected the option to have

    Command Window already open on startup):

    This may provide a clue to what is causing this problem ...

  • On Vista system you need to have minimum of Vista SP1 installed for OrCAD 16.5. Update your machine with latest service pack from Microsoft for VISTA.

    DboTclHelper_ReRegisterOrCADPlugins command is only applicable for licensed version of product. This is not yet supported in lite Version.
