Can't get Siemens own demo project working on WinCC 7.5 SP2.

So I tried everything in this and still couldn't get Siemens' own demo project working on WinCC 7.5 SP2.

I've also tried to create a new project and get the error "Unspecified error" and then "Project could not be created".

SQL Server and SQL Server Agent is running automatically at start, and also all rights given to the default Siemens project folder, including the demo project folder, also those files deleted. Still the same messages at both instances, demo and new project.

Hello,

I was getting the same problem after I reinstall a fresh copy of windows, then after installing WINCC 7.3 again, i could not open the old projects and get the same error you've mentioned.

Finally the problem was solved through the following:

1. make sure that both SQL SERVER (WINCC) and SQL SERVER AGENT (WINCC) services are started (automatically).

2. copy your project to wincc default projects folder.

3. Manually, add "SIMATIC HMI" & "SIMATIC HMI VIEWER" to your project folder groups or usernames by:

right click in your project folder, properties, security tap, click on "edit" under groups or usernames, then add, then type the A/M into the box off-curse one by one

4. remove read only from the main project name folder, by right click in your project folder, properties, then remove read only check.

5. inside your project folder, delete files as following:

projectname.lck

projectname.dc

projectname.dcf

This worked for me; hope it helps you.

Thanks
