Product Part: Foundation Project Manager

Problem Title:
Foundation Install: shadow caused segment load failure lm_acs.dll


Problem Description:
During installation Foundation gives the following error
message:

shadow caused segment load failure lm_acs.dll at 0004:a6a5

Shadow refers to an installation program that runs in the
background. This message indicates that the Windows loader
has failed.


Solution 1:

Install Foundation without the Xilinx libraries, and then
attach the libraries separately.

The following instructions assume that Foundation will be
installed into C:\ACTIVE.

1) Run the Foundation install program and select a Custom
    installation.
2) In the Installation Options dialog, click on the Select
    button next to System Libraries.
3) Click on None to deselect all libraries, then click OK.
4) Select other installation options if desired, and click
    Next to continue installation.
5) After installation, copy the libraries from the
    ACTIVE\SYSLIB directory on the CD into C:\ACTIVE\SYSLIB.
    Each library consists of 15 or 16 files. The libraries
    which end in 'U' are the Xilinx Unified Libraries. Do
    not copy the other libraries (XILINX2, etc) unless you
    require support for old (pre-XACT5) designs.
6) Open the Foundation Project Manager and select
    Applications -> Library Manager.
7) In the Library Manager, select Library -> Attach.
8) Select the C:\ACTIVE\SYSLIB directory.
9) Select all of the libraries in the directory and click
    Attach.
