Performing Interactive Product Installation By default, all OrCAD and Allegro products are installed by the installer. You can choose to install only a selected set of products. 1. Browse to and double-click the Setup launcher file (setup.exe). This file is located above the Disk1 folder; in the root if you have a CD or in the folder where you extracted the ZIP for a downloaded media. 2. Click Install for OrCAD and Allegro Products Installation. 3. Read and accept the license agreement and click Next. 4. Under Install this application for, choose the option to restrict access to only your login or allow all users access to the installed products. Choose Only for me (Recommended), the default, to allow access to only the current user installing the applications or if you do not have administrative privileges. Select Anyone who uses this computer (All Users) for all users of the computer to access the installed applications. 5. Change Installation Directory if needed by browsing 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. 6. 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.
