Re: Protel 99SE netlist issue

Dennis,
Okay it is good that you can progress. I thought that you may be using a
different PCB package of preference and that is why you needed a netlist.

You mentioned that you had done an uninstall and re-install. Are you
aware of the full clean uninstall process? P99SE uninstall leaves some
files, actually a fair number of files, that can continue to mess you up
after a re-install. The following process should give you an absolutely
clean re-install.

Uninstall as usual through Windows remove programs facility.
Search your drive for all files *99SE.* and delete them.
Search your drive for *.bpl files and delete any of the the following that
still appear: vclx50.bpl, vcldb50.bpl, vcl50.bpl, Protelcomponents50.bpl,
CSRTL50.bpl
Search your drive for *.dpl files and delete any of the the following that
still appear: vclx50.dpl, vcldb50.dpl, vcl50.dpl, Protelcomponents50.dpl,
CSRTL50.dpl
Then you should be ready to do a clean re-install.

Cross your fingers that a clean re-install fixes the problem if you
don't find some other configuration type problem. I have know several users
to continue having problems after re-installing because of those files that
are not deleted/replaced in the normal Windows uninstall. And the uninstall
is somewhat random, I have done hundreds of re-installs on various work
acquantance's computers over 10+ years and seen that the list of files
leftover after a Windows uninstall of P99SE varies from time to time. i.e.
sometimes there are none of the significant *.dpl files left, other times
they are all still there.

Many thanks for your reply Brad.

All designators are unique and the project shows correctly (the .sch files
are shown indented below the .prj file etc).

Even though I've used 99SE for around 10 years I'd never taken the "update
pcb" route to layout a board. I've always created a netlist & then loaded
it. At the end of the day I can at lease progress with laying out the
board so I am happy. I'm thinking it may be a set up issue as I am getting
error messages sometimes when it tries to auto back up. At least I can get
the board laid out!

thanks again
Dennis
