Migration Issue with WinCC

We have an old program for a paint booth that uses V5.5, we did not have 5.5 but are using Tia Portal V12. I wanted to migrate this program up to V12, so I downloaded a trial version of V5.5 in order to do so.

Now that I have 5.5 installed on my machine, it tells me it cannot migrate the program for the following error “Option Package(s) SIMATIC WinCC Flexible Missing in STEP 7 V5.4 SP5 or V5.5”

I can assure you that I have WinCC Flexible 2008 installed and licensed on my machine.

I’m not sure where to go from here or how to fix this issues since I already have WinCC on my machine.

Any help on this would be appreciated, I have an email out to my support rep but they are off until Friday.

I have attached photos that were asked for in similar topics to this.

There is a newer service pack available for Flexible 2008, SP5 and update 2, try to install them and see if it fixes your problem.

The other thing that comes in to my mind is, that WinCC integration is not on in Simatic Manager.

ps. TIA v12 has a lot of bugs, so be prepared to run into to trouble...

Hi,

If you install Step7 AFTER Flexible, then Flexible will NOT be integrated with Step7.

I think you just need to run a repair of Flexible in order to get the integration added. I'm not sure. You may need to run the actual Flexible setup, but try the repair first.

So I did this, and it took me a step further.

However now I am getting an error saying 

"Either the migration is not installed in the TIA Portal or WinCC flexible SP2 / WinCC flexible SP3 is not installed. Check the installations and execute the migration again."

This is getting frustrating, I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I've installed all the software

 Have you selected Migration, when you installed TIA Portal?

So It wouldn't let me run a repair/change from my machine in 'Add/remove programs' So I had to completely uninstall WinCC V12, and reinstall it with the migration options selected. Long walk for a short drink of water, but after a week of messing with this between projects I finally have a migrated program. 

Thanks to everyone who has helped with this,

Cheers!
