Stuart Moore Posts: 1 Rating: (0)	Hi All, I have an issue as my Laptop for work has just been replaced and runningMS Win 7 64bit which is an issue and leaves me in a predicament as from I gather Step 7 doesn’t support this, what are my options to run this software? I’ve heard that VM Ware may be a solution, If so is it reliable and are there any issues with it using this way?Is there any other solution?Is Siemens going to release a Win 7 64 bit software in the near future?Thanks in advanceStuart Moore

I ended up setting up a dual boot and purchased an extra Win 7 32 bits. Its getting hard to get machines, that are good enough to use for programming, with a 32 bits windows. It is taking Siemens ages to update their software...

s_oggier Posts: 4 Rating: (0)	Hello. I have the same compatibility problem becauseI use Win7 64bit. So, to work with Step7,I use VMWare Workstation with WinXP.All is working properly. Only the PCMCIA adapter doesn't work, due to VMWare limitation... Now Step7 5.5 SP1 run on 64 bit systems. So I think, in few week, the WinCC Flex will be ready too...
