LTspice "cannot find files" on Windows 7 (only)
|
I have a new installation of LTspice on a Windows 7 OS. I am trying to run a hierarchical schematic from a network share, with all of the hierarchical files in the same directory. I can run this model from the network on a MacBook with Wine, and on a Win XP installation running on VMWare from the same Mac.
However the model will not run on the Win 7 workstation. The error is "Missing schematic(s) of the hierarchy" with the first level hierarchical filenames listed in all lower case characters. The actual files have names using mixed case. Wine and VMWare/Win XP can deal with the mixed case names, but the Win 7 installation cannot. It is even a bit more weird. On the Win 7 machine, the schematic editor has no problem with this hierarchy. Double clicking on a hierarchical symbol brings up its lower level schematic. The hierarchy has several levels, and I can drill down to its lowest level. The problem is that, on Win 7, the hierarchy will not run. I admit to being new to Win 7, but other programs run fine, and the fact that the schematic editor works as expected makes it all the more mysterious. I have spent some time looking through the message base, to no avail. Has anyone seen a problem like this? |

Moving the schematic directory from the network to the C: drive was all it took. Now to get with the IT people and find out why... Thank you very much John. --- In LTspice@..., "sct5033" <sct12@...> wrote:

The MS web site today says that SP1 is current for Win 7.
