#PROTEL 99SE PATCH#

Note that to simplify things after an install, you may right click on Client99se.exe, select compatibility and check the privilege level to select Run this program as an Administrator. Miss one Administrator here, and Protels installer or Client99se.exe wont have access to the system folder C:Windows where Protel places a bunch of old style client99.ini files it must use to function. Then when running Client99se.exe, you also need to run it with Administrator privileges as well. Right click on the installer and choose Run As Administrator) When running the service pack 6, you also need to run it with Administrator privileges as well.

When doing a fresh install in Win7, you run the installer with Administrator privileges. Ive applied the two edits and it runs fine but does not recognise the lib files on W7 (home prem) Any clues Cheers.Р”Р„s far as I can tell its all working fine now with Brians edits done the unhide known extension option changed as per the attached screen shot. Thanks BrianHG - Protel 99SE works fine on my W10 installation but Im having issues getting it to work on my W7 workshop PC. With these 2 patches, Protel99se appears to be fully functional under Win7. Is there a list of what else is broken in Protel 99SE under Windows 7 Thanks again, Tony.

#PROTEL 99SE PATCH#

So I followed your same approach and found where to patch for the schematic library dialog as well (I dont understand why the code is duplicated, as the dialogs are pretty much identical, but anyway.) Patch offset 0x25f78 to 0x25f81 inclusive with 0x90 (original bytes were: 50 8b 45 ec 50 e8 7e c1 fd ff ) in Client99SE.exe With both these patches applied, you can add libraries to both the pcb and schematic under windows 7. Read my post 2 below, there is a second patch for the schematic editor adding library files) Enjoy. I used free Free Hex Editor Neo and everything worked like a charm. Make sure you have SP6 installed since there are different revisions of Client99SE. I will do some more testing and - if necessary - tinkering if there are still more problems.Р”В®njoy I kept a copy of the original Client99SE.exe before starting obviously. So: get yourself a hex editor (I use HxD, its free) and edit the Client99SE.exe file.Р”В¬hange all bytes from offset 2690E to 26917 ( a total of 10 bytes that need to be changed) to 90. The call to SHGetPathFromIDListA does not do anything noteworthy, so I replaced all instructions related to that call with NOP instructions.
