I need to view an existing bit of PLC code so this seemed like a good way forward.... Any suggestions? ----------- new subject after splitting from 64Bit Windows vs 32 Bit Step 7

Hello Dazed&Confused,

As far as I know, STEP 7 Lite is not compatible with Windows 7(64-Bit).Read more in the following link:
Which version of STEP 7 Lite is compatible with which version of MS Windows operating system and optional software package and which version of the Internet Explorer is required?

STEP 7 Lite Version	Windows 2000 Professional	Windows XP Home	Windows XP Professional	Windows 98SE	Windows ME	Internet Explorer
V1.0	X	-	-	X	X	V5.0
V2.0	X	X	X	X	X	>=5.0
V2.0 SP2	X¹⁾	X²⁾	X⁶⁾	X	X	>=5.0
V3.0	X³⁾	X⁴⁾	X⁷⁾	-	-	>=6.0
V3.0 SP1 / SP2	X³⁾	X⁵⁾	X⁸⁾	-	-	>=6.0

Perhaps , you need a virtual PC inside your original OS(using one of mentioned OS in the list) and then try installing STEP 7 Lite.

I hope this helps,

The time limit for Trial license is 14 days and it is offered if STEP 7 starts(for the 1st time) without valid license.
