Cadence OrCAD 16.5 installs, pspice does not work

Post by udippel »

I have tried to install, using the recommendation as given.
While Capture works okay (I didn't encounter any problem creating a basic circuit), the simulation itself (pspice) fails to work.
It displays an installation error about some incomplete installation; and asks me to run some binaries against the /regserver: PSpiceExplorerSrvr.exe, pspice.exe, SimSrvr.exe, simmgr.exe and mrksrvr.exe.
I did all, but no change.

Can anyone give me a hint on what is going wrong here, please, and how to rectify the situation?

One should never reply to one's own post ... .
In case someone might need this: I had Capture working until I installed MS Office. With MS Office it is necessary to set riched20.dll to 'native' (PowerPoint), and then Capture dies while loading. So better set this library application-specific.
