Installing PSpice 9.

1
NOTE: You cannot have different versions of OrCAD PSpice installed. Before attempting this install,
remove any previous versions of PSpice.

MS Windows 7/8/10 computers


1) Download ‘91pspstu.exe’, a self-unzipping file with the student version of OrCAD PSpice 9.1
and supporting files/programs, from the EE 220 course webpage under the Labs link or click
http://montoya.sdsmt.edu/ee220/handouts/91pspstu.exe .
2) Move ‘91pspstu.exe’ to a folder selected by you. For example, I opened another Windows File
Explorer window, selected the local disk (C:) and created a folder named ‘c:\PSpice91’. Then, I
went to the Download folder, right clicked ‘91pspstu.exe’ and dragged it over to the
‘C:\PSpice91’ folder.
3) Right click on ‘91pspstu.exe’  select Properties  select the Compatibility tab  check ‘Run
this program as Administrator’ AND ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows
XP (SP3)’ and <Apply>. Now, double click ‘91pspstu.exe’ and unzip its contents to your
selected folder, e.g., C:\PSpice91, NOT the default folder that the unzip program suggests
unless you like hunting for it. Close the unzip program window.
4) Now, you are ready to install PSpice 9.1. In your selected folder, right click on ‘Setup.exe’* 
check ‘Run this program as Administrator’ AND ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for:
Windows XP (SP3)’ and <Apply>. Next, if it does not start the installation process, again right
click on ‘Setup.exe’  select ‘Run as administrator’ to start the installation wizard. During the
installation:
 Click <OK> to the question about shutting down background programs/virus checkers (I
didn’t bother).
 Click <yes> to the question about administrative privileges.
 On the ‘Select Schematic Editors’ page, select/check to install both ‘Capture’ and
‘Schematics’.
 Use default ‘c:\Program Files\OrCAD_Demo’ folder by clicking <next>.
 Let installer finish up.
5) To run, click ‘Start’ in lower left corner  click ‘All programs’ or ‘All apps’  go to ‘PSpice
Student’ and click to display drop down list  double click ‘Schematics’ icon.

If ‘Schematics’ does not run, try:


6) Click ‘Start’ in lower left corner  click ‘All programs’ or ‘All apps’  go to ‘PSpice Student’
and click to display drop down list  right click ‘Schematics’ icon  select Properties 
select Compatibility tab  check ‘Run this program as administrator’ AND check ‘Run this
program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)’ and <Apply>.

* I always have file extensions/suffixes showing. [Editorial note: What moron at Microsoft
thought we would not want to see them?]
