Orcad 16.6 capture ERROR(ORCAP-5004): Error initializing COM property pages: Invalid pointer

Hi, all

My OS is windows 7, 32bits. SPB version is 16.6.

When I trying to create Netlist, this error happed.

I have searched in this forum, try to debug with the method in this link:

http://www.cadence.com/forums/p/15490/1310574.aspx#1310574

But it didn't work, I went to the (Install_dir)\tools\capture, there was no pxllite.ocx and truereuse.ocx but orpxllite.ocx and ortruereuse.ocx. I run them the same way as previous link, I did got "DllRegisterServer in orpxllite.ocx succeeded." and "DllRegisterServer in ortrueReuse.ocx succeeded." I still can't create netlist. I also trie to run capture "as a administrator", it can't work.

Thanks.

Chris

    I found it was useful to run "Run" as admin, sometimes running "capture.exe" will cause other problem, such as it will keep reminding me "communicating with server", and I have to close capture.

     I found every time I want to create Netlist, I need to register this two *.ocx files. Weird.
