    Hi JC,

    I try once more, even though it seams to be there.

    /Egon

  • Hi JC,

    Just read the help.html.

    Software Requirements, Operating System, Windows 10 (64-bit) Professional

    So Windows 10 (64-bit) Home may not work or...

    /Egon

  • Hi Egon,

    I noticed that your current login contains a non-ascii character. If it is possible, please try creating another login on the same computer with ascii characters only and try to install under that login. There's a problem with non-ascii character which the development team is working on.

    Thanks,
    JC

  • Hi JC,

    When you talk about login, do you mean Windows login?

    My PC is a stationary office PC, not a laptop and I do not use login as no one else has access to it.

    Perhaps the computer name is the problem. It contains the danish character "æ" like "ae".

    /Egon

  • Hi Egon,

    Yes I think that is the issue and the R&D is working on a fix.

    We will update you when the fix is available.

    Thanks,
    JC

    I renamed my PC and the error code(-42) does not show up anymore:-).

    It did not solve all problems, new error message: Unable to write to disk. Check Permissions.

    /Egon

  • Egon,

    Yes, this error message "unable to write to disk" is known for the special character problem.

    we should have an update next week.

    Thanks,
    JC

  • Hi JC,

    Now I have renamed the User Profile Folder. The "æ" is replaced by a "a".

    After this operation I was able to install pSpice For TI, without further problems.

    Thank you for your patience and your help.

    Best regards

    Egon
