I noticed that I don't have the option to add drives when I click add device in the project tree. I found a similar problem on the forum which suggested installing Startdrive. I have installed STARTDRIVE_ADVANCED_V18_SP2_UPD1. Now when opening the project, the program tries to install GSD files and then crashes on this one. I tried installing the GSD files manually, but manual installation produces the same result. Attachment error.png (439 Downloads)

Deinstall V18 completely 2. Download the DVD with TIA V18 Setup 3. Store the DVD locally 4. Install TIA Portal as Admin, deactivate the antivirus-programs during the installation. 5. Try again if it is possible to install GSD files. Also check that there is compatibility between your software and your OS: Compatibility Tool

If for example you have a windows home edition, it will tell you what software will and what will not work with your specific Windows Home installation. afolabijo Kristof74 Thanks The compatibility tool helped.
