I managed to get PSpice 9.1 Student Edition running flawlessly in Crossover 8.0.0 on a Mac, including simulations, with just a little extra work thanks to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550991 . Here's how:
- Create a "win98" bottle to install PSpice into.
- Perform an "Install Unsupported Software" with PSpice (be sure the self-extracting executable has been unzipped and you are installing from the folder of installation files).
- During the installation, make the installation path not include spaces (like the default "Program Files"). I changed mine to "C:\OrCAD_Demo\".
- Copy "C:\Windows\PSPICEEV.INI" from a computer that already has PSpice installed on it to "C:\Windows\" in your Crossover bottle. Contact me at stephenroberts@gmail.com if you need a copy of this file.
- Edit PSPICEEV.INI and change all the paths to the path you chose in step 3.
- Run PSpice!
You should be ready to build and simulate. Enjoy!
