Hello together,

I had a similar problem, but I had installed Win CC flexible instead of Win CC.

So please try the following, maybe this also solve your problem:

1. Open Windows Explorer.

2. Navigate to the binary (bin)directory of S7-200 PC Access (usually C:\Program Files\Siemens\S7-200 PC Access\bin)

3. Right click sopcsrvr.ini and select "Open with".

4. Select "Notepad" and select "OK".

5. Copy the following line in the "registry" section (the registry section begins with "[Registry].

ConfigDataPath = C:\Program Files\Siemens\S7-200 PC Access\bin\sopcsrvr.ini

example:

; Generic OPC Server Parameter File
; Siemens AG
;
[Registry]
; OPC Toolkit Server Registry information
ProgId = S7200.OPCServer
ClassId = {05D9ADF0-6815-4236-A656-538039182B08}
SymbolicName = S7200 PC Access OPC Server
RegKey = S7-200 PC Access
ConfigDataPath = C:\Program Files\Siemens\S7-200 PC Access\bin\sopcsrvr.ini

6. The red text should be the binary (bin) directory of your S7-200 PC Access (typically the one showing).

7. Select the File menu option and select Save.

8. S7-200 PC Access should now start without error.

If you have a windows 7 64 bits you will have to use this:

ConfigDataPath= C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\S7-200 PC Access\bin\sopcsrvr.ini

Good afternoon,

I have the same problem, i just did all path 1to 8 and it stills the same, test client continues off and also the same error occures, "an error has occured" when i click on the test client button. I have seen some other videos where the time stamp are different from mine. Mine shows 01:00:00:000 on the item.

Thanks.
