Cadence Allegro and OrCAD 17.2-2016 Installation Guide for Windows Installing the Products April 2016 35 Product Version 17.2-2016 © 1999-2018 All Rights Reserved. On selecting Complete, the Installation Settings page appears and you can skip steps 8 and 9 and move to step 10. If you select Custom in the Setup Type dialog box, the Control File Location page appears. 8. In the text field of the Control File Location page, specify the path to the control file you received from Cadence, including the name of the control file. The control file determines which products are selected by default in the Select Products dialog box. If you do not have a control file, leave it blank. 9. Click Next. 10. In Specify Install Directory, browse to the directory where you want to install the products. Note: If you are installing in per-user mode (Only for me) and there are other installations in the system, ensure that you specify a unique location to not overwrite other existing installations. The space required to install all products and the space available in the specified directory is displayed in the Specify Install Directory box. Note: Avoid long path names and spaces and special characters in the installation path. 11. In Specify Working Directory, set the path for your default working directory or accept the default directory. Note: If you have already set the HOME environment variable, that is what appears as the default directory in this dialog box. If you have not previously set a HOME variable, then the default is %APPDATA%\SPB_Data for per user installation (Only for me) and C:\SPB_Data for a all user installation. You must specify the working directory you want to use. After the installation is finished, the HOME environment variable equals the working directory you specify. If a working directory is already specified in your system, retain the working directory value if you do not want to change existing configurations. Changing this value will alter the value of the HOME variable, which might affect other applications that use this variable and existing configurations for the tools might become ineffective. Caution Avoid changing the HOME environment variable as it might impact other programs.
