Hi everyone,

before I got Orcad9.0 running under WINNT 4.0, no problems.

But, now I use WINXP and whenever I try to install Orcad9,
via the splash menu, I get following error:

SPlash MFC apllication has encountered a problem ...


When runnign the setup.exe immediately from the CD via explorer,
the installation starts, but at the very first file transfer, I get following error:

Severe :
General file transfer error. Please check your target location and try again.
Error number:-2

However, I checked the location ( c:\program files\orcad\), I have enough disk space, and I tried it fith fat32 and ntfs file system,
nothing helps.
So, anyone any idea what's wrong?

Thx,
Wolf
MFC ? sounds like a VC/ VB compiled app ?
anyways, its possible that its trying to replace a
file that is in use already? most likely would be
one of the support runtimes in the system folder.
oR!, you could have a failed CD, CD rom Drive or
the App is trying to do some screwy software protection
check using a function your CD/CD drivers does not support
or !, you could have problems with some long file name on
some folders? or!. you are not logged in as Admin and on a
pc that is restricted ?
who knows! :) could be a many of things!
