Hi all, I have seen a lot of threads saying "Help on installing S7 5.5 Prof Ed on 64 bit window OS" and a lot of replay saying "YOU CANT...., IMPOSSIBLE....". But I have installed (in right or in wrong way) on Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and Windows 8 64 bit customer preview build 8250. The problem I found out why it is impossible is: only the problem of Automation License manager(32 bit) running service. Here is the steps I have done to install S7 5.5: 1. I have downloaded and installed Automation licence manager V5.1 SP1 Upd3 64bit. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/114358 2. I have changed XML code of Setup.exe file to support my os ID, I have added this line code <supportedOS Id="{4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38}"></supportedOS> //this is the os ID of Windows 8 64bit 3. I have changed the Setup.msi file to Enable the disabled Ignore button and to continue installation (as on the screen screenshots). I have deleted this line of code: DLG_InstallationRequirements|Ignore|Disable|DLG_INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS_DISABLE_IGNORE 4. Run Setup.exe restart your pv after finish (you may see the message: "Setup has finished with errors" but it is installed correctly) That is all !!! If you want to try it you can download from here Setup.exe and Setup.msi for S7-PLCSIM V5.4 SP4 (only for PLCSIM), all you have to do is replace this file on your S7-PLCSIM/Disk1 folder and run the setup NB: I have posted this because I thought that it may help someone, and I cannot say it is 100% the same as on Siemens approved OS's Regards, |

Dear Bassie, You need to have some exe editor to get XML schema, on my case I used resource hacker (google it). The supported OS list is located under folder "24" as shown in the attached picture. Regards, |

Hi desmul24 this stuff is very interesting, I've changed my os for a an Ultimate edition (64 bit) but it's impossible to install step 7 ! I'm trying since yesterday to do your trick but I think I don't all understand what you explain here. 1. I have downloaded and installed Automation licence manager V5.1 SP1 Upd3 64bit. _This is ok ^^ 2. I have changed XML code of Setup.exe file to support my os ID, I have added this line code <supportedOS Id="{4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38}"></supportedOS> //this is the os ID of Windows 8 64bit _code of Setup.exe file : Which one ? S7-PLCSIM V5.4 SP4 or DLG_InstallationRequirements|Ignore|Disable|DLG_INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS_DISABLE_IGNORE ??? Where is it ? If you want to try it you can download from here Setup.exe and Setup.msi for S7-PLCSIM V5.4 SP4 (only for PLCSIM), all you have to do is replace this file on your S7-PLCSIM/Disk1 folder and run the setup S7-PLCSIM/Disk1 Folder? I have an exe version, I don't have access to this folder, how can I do ?
