I have managed to run the software on my machine via the run Windows>Tools>Application>start.exe on the Softcomfort v5 cd. It works perfect until I come to upload/download - Has anyone else managed to get it work or get further (ie up/download a program)

I heard it should work (also UP/Download). Copy the folder from the LOGO!Soft comfort CD (where the executable version is stored) to your PC. Select the LOGO!Soft Comfort.exe file and press the left mouse button. open the properties and select "run in WinXP-Mode". Know start it. This should work. I got the information that end of summer 2007 Siemens plan to have a Vista-Version. I hope this helps. PS: It would be perfect if youpost your results. Regards Helmut

I copied the folder from the CD ( <cd drive>windows/tools/applications) to my hard-drive C: then located the logocomfort.exe - rightclick - properties - compatibity - Windows XP or earlier. Also add shortcut to desktop. (see attachment) Thanks Michael The problems with vista and Logo Soft is that the installation program that SoftComfort uses (InstallAnyWhere) is not Vista compatable. They are a lot of installation programs that have worked for years on Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003 that just will not work on Vista. The only one that I have found to work is InstallShield, which is the most common one, so why Siemens did not use it on Softcomfort I can not work out, they did on the other Softwares (Step7-Lite, Micro-win etc) Attachment Logo Vista.pdf (91 Downloads)

When I try to start the aplication, the aplication will start an in one second the aplication closes. Does someone have any advice? I will be very appreciated. Thank you!

Compatiblity for Win XP was also neccessary. But then i could start the setup.exe as usual. After the installation i changed the desing of windows back again. Used the V5.0.22. No update/patch was neccessary.
