Hi Alan_B_Stard,

Could you please attach the screenshots of the errors?

It seems they were not attached to your first post.

Dear Alan_B_Stard,

the download of S7-PM can be found with the link below, but you will also need a license for this software package.

S7-PM is needed, if in the older project the "project-wide assignment of message numbers" was used. As an alternativ it can help to set this option in the older software to "cpu-wide assignment of message numbers" and save the project with "Save as (with reorganization)".

S7-Project Messages (S7-PM) V5.7 Download

Protool:

You can try to disable in the settings of V5.7 the "integrity monitoring", FAQ below. Maybe this helps. But i assume there is also a compatibility issue with windows 10 and protool.

After installing STEP 7 V5.7, why do you get a message about missing options packages when starting STEP 7?

Hi!

The solution was:

Install Project Messages (without license). Project 'Save As' with reorganize, after this the ProTool link was gone.

/Thanks!
