WinCC Unified PC going to Extend download instead of simulation

Hello,

I have recently installed TIA V16 with WinCC Unified on my host machine where previously I was using a virtual machine. Now I am unable to simulate the runtime where every time I try to load the simulation it brings the Extend download window up. Is there a setting I forgot to set?

Thanks,

Hi,

I've experienced same issue. Initially, I have installed the software on the host machine but I could never get the simulation working (was getting same Extended Download window popping all the time), tried to change all possible settings, PG/PE interface, certifications etc.

Then I installed it on the virtual machine and it all ran smoothly with no problems so I stopped investigating what was the actual cause of that behaving.

Just curious if anyone knows why is this happening though...

Do you know what went wrong? I have the same issue.
