Hello,

I have a problem concerning the included WINCC Advanced OPC Server which can be activated in the runtime settings -> act as OPC Server.

Right now WinCC Advanced Runtime V13 SP1 is installed on a 64 Bit Windows 7 PC,
the runtime starts without problems, but I cannot acces the server with OPC Scout with the local PC.

Attached there are the error entries of the server, it seems that the problem occurs while starting up, but I cannot find the reason, also the XML Gateway is installed like suggested in some other Threads.

Is there anything else that has to be taken care of than the one setting in WinCC?
The DCOM settings are already changed, the user does have permissions and since I'm accessing from the local PC there shouldn't be any connection issues.

Maybe somebody already had an similar issue, any advice would be appreciated.

Best Regards

Hi, did you manage to solve this issue? I have the exact same problem and I'm clueless of a solution.

Thanks.
