[PCB_FORUM] Re: cadence and vista

Sam,
        No. 

        Cadence installed on a Vista machine did not
        have any problem communicating with our UNIX
        license server.

Sam,
    Cadence Allegro 14.2 thru 15.7 installs/runs OK on Vista.

    You may need to turn off the "User Account Control" (UAC).
    (the guy in the sunglasses, as seen in the Apple TV AD) 
 

    Some other software may give a warning message during the
    install, that it may not be Vista compatible, then seems
    to work OK once it's installed. Other software with the 
    same warning message, fails to start after installation. 
    The information messages given by Vista do not give enough
    detail to figure out why some run, and others don't.

    Vista has ended support for programs that use "Winhlp32".
    One workaround is to install it from a CD of Windows XP or
    Windows 2000. They did keep support for the 16 bit version 
    "Winhlp.exe", so older programs seem to work better. Once 
    the 32 bit version of WinHelp was installed most of my 
    software worked OK.


====================================================================

    If you need to install WinHlp32 see the instruction below:
    **** Warning *** Contact your IT department first.

How to Install winhlp32 on Vista ===================================


1. Insert the Windows XP installation CD into your CD-ROM.

2. Browse to your CD-ROM and change the folder to \I386

3. Copy the following files to a temporary folder on your hard disk:

        Winhlp32.cn_
        Winhlp32.ex_
        Winhlp32.hl_

4. Click Start->Run, type CMD and then press Enter.

5. Change to the temporary folder where you stored the Winhlp32 files. 

6. Type the following commands:

        EXPAND WINHLP32.CN_ WINHLP32.CNT
        EXPAND WINHLP32.EX_ WINHLP32.EXE
        EXPAND WINHLP32.HL_ WINHLP32.HLP

7.  Copy Winhlp32.exe to your \%SYSTEMROOT%\ folder.

8.  Copy the Winhlp32.cnt, and Winhlp32.hlp to the folder

                              \%SYSTEMROOT%\Help\folder.

9.  Typically this folder is C:\Windows. 

10. Delete the contents of your temporary folder.

END ==================================================================
