its working thanks

On Windows 10 I had to run TIA Portal as administrator to workaround this problem 

This problem is still occurring with new installs. I've a desk top running Windows 10 Pro version 1803 OS Build 17134.285 and ALM / TIA works fine. Exactly the same on a new laptop but Windows 10 Home version 1803 and I get the message about ALM error when opening existing projects.

When its says above run as administrator this is nothing more complicated than Right Click start up icon (short cut) and select Run As Administrator.

Job Sorted. Would have thought that after installing hours worth of TIA updates something as simple as this could be built into the install. 

Why does installing Siemens software take so long !!!!!!!!!!! This is 2018 not 1990. Is the software so inefficient coding. Rockwell, Mitsubishi and the rest take minutes to install. Come on Siemens improve your software install, engineers might want to use then.

Windows 10 Build 1803 is not supported, yet: SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic (TIA Portal). You have to use Build 1703.
