Hi. Firstly, I've managed to remove all the contents of the Discrete.ssl library in the Library Manager. So far I've been unsuccessful in working out how to get the contents back into the library. If anybody knows the answer to my predicament, that would be a great help? Secondly, for some reason I'm unable to locate and place into a new schematic, the Transformer schematic Symbol. Any clues as two what I may be doing wrong

The easiest way to deal with a lost or corrupt library is to reinstall it. First copy all libraries to somewhere safe, then either copy the libraries from your master or backup disk or reinstall the software.
If you create your own symbols Numberone advise that you put them into your own library (not a published one) as a reinstall will wipe them. It is easy to copy symbols from one library file to another.
I keep a working library that contains all and only the symbols that I use. These have a different name (a drawing number) to any in the standard libraries. |

Hi Davep Where exactly do I find the standard library contents on the backup installation disc? I did reinstall EPC Ver13 and the same problem exists, i.e. no contents of the Discrete.ssl library.
Is it the case that the EPC Standard Library is a part of the installation process rather than a separate file on the installation disc. It would appear that something is not allowing a proper EPC installation on my computer, (Windows 7 Ultimate).

Windows 7 can be a problem as MS have decided to 'nanny' several areas that weren't previously protected.
When you run the installer, don't click on the menu entry. Right click and use 'Run as Administrator'. Choose a custom installation, and change the installation path so that the program does NOT use the 'Program Files' folder. That will avoid the bulk of the potential issues with Windows 7. 64 bit is not a problem.
The libraries can't be installed separately from the main installation, which is a nuisance, as if you don't uninstall, the installer only gives you the option to repair the existing installation, which doesn't help. |

That fix for Win7 simply does not work (at least for me).
I have reinstalled several times to no avail.
There are the normal 10 squillion libraries present, but only ~20 are available to actually use. (and they are just the ones I need)
Installing to a location other than the default does nothing at all, whether Win7 nannies or not.
Another sad case of Soft Developer blaming OS developer, blaming soft developer and so on ad nauseum.
beta builds should be illegal.......
I sell you a car that needs upgrading to work after only 2 miles and you wouldnt be happy either! |

I agree with you Mondo.
Peter the only ones you could blaim for this issue is your programmingteam.
It has been a fact for years that userdata and config data should not be stored in Program Files. With Win7 (and Vista) MS made this mandatory. But also that change is well known and well documented. |

The default settings in the installer are set so that programs and the related files that don't get changed will go into Program Files, and the 'data' (libraries, technology files, colour files, etc.) go into the user data area (Documents and Settings/... on XP, or \users\... on Vista and later). If the software has previously been installed on the computer, then the installer will look for existing folder settings to try and determine the best place to put the files.
If the root of the original problem is that the installed copy of the default libraries have gone missing (rather than simply not being properly referenced in the Folders list in the application) then we will of course be happy to post a Zip file containing a full set of the standard library files for you to take. Just let us know if that would help and we will do that straight away.
