Hi there,

I downloaded Cadence Allegro Free Physical Viewer v16.x from Cadence website and installed successfully. However, when double-clicking the program, I noticed that only the cursor blinked once, the program did not launch. I have tested on both desktop and laptop with Windows XP, the same issue occurred. I'm frustrated. Is there any solution? Thanks.

Go to My Computer->Properties->Advanced tab->Environment Variables list to see if there is a variable named cdsroot. If there isn't, you need add it.

varaible name: cdsroot

variable value: C:\Program Files\Cadence Design Systems\Allegro Free Physical Viewer 16.0\tools\pcb\

Hope this helps.
