Orcad Capture 17.2 Footprint Viewer not working

Velocityidp

Yes, I've made sure that the included paths in Capture.ini are correct. Yes I selected the correct ini (used to one printed out in the session log field at Capture startup). Yes, I've even tested a footprint known to work in PCB Editor (EMC0402) but it fails to show up in Capture when I click "Show Footprint"

I get the following message in the Show Footprint screen:

"Could not launch footprint, see Capture session log for more details."

Then when I look in the session log, it says:

"Parrent Schematic Occurence is NULL"

Yes, those spelling errors are not my typos, its a direct copy-paste from the log. I tried to google that specific error message and I get zero results. I have no idea what the issue is. Any ideas? Because I'm at a loss.

Thanks,
