I'm having the same problem. CDS_LIC_FILE and all other environment variables are properly set. I was using version 16.0 and was working ok. I can run layout without any problems. It seems to be only for OrCAD Capture and Capture CIS. Also, I can see the Capture.exe consuming 25% of the CPU usage in the task manager but it stays in the splash screen. I think is time to request some Cadence support.
Make sure your version is 16.3-S017. You can probably start Orcad by clicking on the capture.exe in the bin directory. Then click Help->About in Orcad. I had similar problem that went away after installing the Hotfix posted at the Cadence support web site:
<I cant post the link No permission>
Login go to Downloads - Orcad_16_3 - ISR
you'll find a zip file as the last in the list. Download the 565K zip and install.
I installed Orcad Capture 16.3 on Windows 7. When I try to start Capture, I am getting a "The program can't start because MSVCR90.DLL is missing from your computer" message.
Please help! Thanks.

check your environmental variables in mycomputer --> properties--> advanced ( right click on my computer icon in the desktop) and check whether variable 'CDSROOT" is available with cadence path in the value field.
