Install WinCC flexible on Windows 8

JonasBengtsson

To install STEP 7 v5.5 SP3 (DVD update release) follow these steps.

1. Download and install the latest 64-bit version of automation licence manager.

2. Copy DVD content to any directory on hdd.

3. Modify ./Setup.exe using any resouce modification software. Eg ResourceHack. Add the line

<supportedOS Id="{4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38}"></supportedOS> //this is the os ID of Windows 8 64bit

4. Modify ./InstData/Setup.ini under section OS.

PlattformIDAllowed = 1;2;3

Add the lines

Win8x64=1
Win8x64Exclude=SKU2;SKU3;SKU5;SKU8;SKU9;SKU10;SKU11;SKU12;SKU13;SKU14;SKU15;SKU16;SKU17;SKU18;SKU19;SKU20;SKU21;SKU22;SKU23;SKU24;SKU25;SKU47;SKU66;SKU67;SKU68
Win8x64Warning=SKU2;SKU3;SKU5;SKU8;SKU9;SKU10;SKU12;SKU13;SKU14;SKU15;SKU16;SKU17;SKU18;SKU19;SKU20;SKU21;SKU22;SKU23;SKU24;SKU25;SKU67;SKU68

5. Modify all msi-files to enable the ingore-button on installation failures (like installing on unsupported OS's). Use any software possible to manipulate MSI-files. E.g. InstEd.

Search for DLG_INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS_DISABLE_IGNORE. Change Action from Disbale to Enable.

Run ./Setup to start installation. Press the ingore-button when told it's not possible to install on running OS.

Good luck!
