Could it be that your CD media is corrupted/damaged? If that's not it, perhaps see if setting Orcad9.exe or whatever it is for Windows 2000 compatibility (right-click on it) and see if the problems disappears.

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

Hi,
I tried to install on another PC with another windows version ( win98) still the same problems, so, my CDrom reader works fine and the CD is not damaged ( I could copy all files from it to harddisk) and I do nowhere find the compatibility info.

By the way, who is generating rhe error I get , Microsoft or the Orcad application and why is there no real explanation of what kind of error
error number:-2 means?

This is the error I always get:


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