[?]: Windows7 and Simatic manager problem

[Homeroid_BL]

After upgrading from Vista 32-bit, to Windows7 32-bit, I can not start Simatic Manager.
There is a message 'Your user irgths do not include use of Step7'.
Is there a way to fix it, or I must reinstall it?
WinCC and WinCC Flexible show no problem.

Thanks.

have you tried something like this?

if it doesn't work then you should find and change all the permissions of the files and folders that S7 needs.
If you try to reinstall it then follow this guide

'this trick run it at your own risk...'
Thanks, but I chose to 'downgrade' OS to Vosta again Waiting for a Step7 executable under Windows7

Also, on Windows7 PPI adapter is missing, no way ti instal it. MicroWin can not communicate to S7-200.

And (like I expected), Omron CX-ONE works fine on WIndows7.

Description:
from support:

STEP 7 (including V5.4 SP5) and STEP 7 Professional cannot be installed in Windows 7 and therefore cannot run in Windows 7. Furthermore, the option software products:
S7-SCL (also included in STEP 7 Professional)
S7-PLCSIM (also included in STEP 7 Professional)
S7 PDIAG
S7-GRAPH (also included in STEP 7 Professional)
CFC
S7-HiGraph
DOCPRO

are not compatible with Windows 7. More information on the compatibility of operating systems is available in the readme of STEP 7 and in Entry ID: 8250891. In the readme, under "3.1 Runtime environment", there is a list of the operating systems that are not supported by STEP 7 V5.4 + SP5 (e.g. Windows Vista 64 Bit).

Hi ,

try running the S7 as "administrator" using right mouse click.

Hi,

Use the method proposed by dsekulic. It is working for me.
I have tested it with Step7 Professional SR6 and is OK, but it failed with Step7 Professional SR4.
