Hi Yaqian,

I don't have any issue simulating this:

Please close PSpice for TI and rename the following folders, then run PSpice for TI again to see if it helps.

C:\cds_spb_home\cdssetup\OrCAD_CaptureTIPSpice_Install

C:\cds_spb_home\cdssetup\OrCAD_PSpiceTIPSpice_Install

Thanks,
JC

it doesn't work.

Hi Yaqian,

Please try the following as well:

1. Close PSpice for TI application

2. Click on Start > type "regedit". This will open your registry editor.

3. Delete the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Orcad\CaptureTIPSpice_Install , Right click and Delete

4. Reopen  PSpice for TI application and check

Thanks,

still have this problem

Yaqian,

Please make sure your project is in a folder where you have write permission.

Please check if you have the file "PSpice.ini" in C:\cds_spb_home\cdssetup\OrCAD_PSpiceTIPSpice_Install\17.4.0.

Please also check if you have the file "devparam.txt" in C:\Cadence\PSpiceTI\tools\pspice\library.

Thanks,
JC

yes, the two files in the correct position.

Hi Yaqian,

Your first screenshot is not for the location I asked for. I asked for C:\Cadence\PSpiceTI\tools\pspice\library but you are showing C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\pspice\library. Please check C:\Cadence\PSpiceTI\tools\pspice\library.

Also, please provide the error message in its entirety. The screenshot only shows part of it:

Thanks,

C:\cadence doesn't have PSpice folder.

and the following is the whole session log.

Hi Yaqian,

Where is your PSpice for TI installed?

Thanks,
JC

C disk

Hi Yaqian,

The problem is, while you first screenshot clearly indicates that you were using PSpice for TI, your latest screenshot shows that it is not installed in the typical folder. I need to know where it is installed in order to look for the file that the error message is complaining about.

Please identify the installation directory by checking the property of the shortcut which you use to start PSpice for TI. I am looking for the text in blue (Target) like this:

Thanks,
