I was able to go thru the process - click the link that I sent, click on the 16.6 viewer from the download page and complete the info form which sent an email to me with a link that allowed me to download the 16.6 viewer without any issues. All the links seem to work for me.
I have set Read Only on Windows\System32 and the Allegro Free Physical Viewer 16.6 starts without issue. Check that you have the latest download, this was recently updated, even so, previous versions of the Allegro Free Physical Viewer 16.6 haven't encountered any issues like this either.
Back in early February, several product engineers running Windows 7 on Dell laptops at the large company I work at downloaded and installed Allegro Free Physical Viewer 16.6. We needed to upgrade to 16.6 to be able to open .brd created by our PCB layout group, who recently updated their layout tool. We use Allegro Free Physical Viewer to review PCB layouts prior to ordering them so it is important to be able to open them conveniently.
Nothing we have done has fixed this. Cadence support has sent me to several websites to download 3rd party software patches ( =200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en & =en&FamilyID=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2) as well as download a patched(?) version of Allegro Free Physical Viewer at _free_viewer_16-6.zip. None of these things have worked.
