Got new Vista PC and trying to install RSLogix 5. There is a conformance document on their web site that shows what is compatable with what. Dave Ferguson. Control Systems Engineer. Blandin Paper Company. SW 4th Street. Grand Rapids, Mn 5. Are you sure you have the right version number? ![]() RSLogix 5. 00 is above 8. FT activations now, but I think it will still support the old EVRSI activation. I know installs that have worked in Vista, the biggest issue has been getting RSLinx to work. There are no drivers for the PCMCIA cards from Rockwell. Sorry but I would choose XP over Vista every time, but new notebooks with XP are hard to come by. ![]() ![]() It is probably unreasonable to expect being able to run a program that is 6 versions out of date. I would start by getting the latest version (8. I believe). Having said that, all the usual tricks apply, namely 1) Try various compatability mode options. Make sure you . But if you change your PC's date to before 2. So you might be lucky and RSLogix version 7. Or RSLogix version 8. PC's data turned back. Actually, RSLogix 5. AFTER version 8. 1. Factory Talk for activation. Certain (more expensive) versions of MS Windows 7 will have a copy of Virtual PC bundled with it (Microsoft bought the company a couple of years ago). You can then download a special VM image of MS Windows XP from their web site and run it in the VM. The problem is that the VM they are using is only compatible with certain specific x. CPU versions (out of dozens of models). You would have to get the exact part number of the Intel or AMD CPU in each specific computer and do a bit of research to see if it will work. If you were doing this on a server with a Xeon or Opteron CPU, chances are it would work. On a laptop, there is a very good chance that it wouldn't. In other words, you might get it to work on a specific PC, but there is no guarantee that it would work on just any PC. Microsoft supposedly did a nice job of integration with the rest of their product, but the VM product they bought was not exactly one of the better ones. Someone looking for a VM solution would probably be better off with something like VMWare. But the XP is license is already there, I believe, and set up. This option works reliably only with Ethernet connection. Regards,Tomy Zacharia. DM (T& I)If you use a VM then you can also use serial and USB as well. The Rockwell USB to DH4. DH+ adapter. 2. 5.

They're already writing it off and going to . Bet that makes the Guinea Pigs (aka early adopters) happy. Regardscwwcww: . I use Vista at work and XP at home. Bet that makes the Guinea Pigs (aka early adopters) happy. I would much rather use a dedicated HMI ala Panel. View Plus or Magelis. But it will work and the operators won't really know the difference. It's only the maintenance people who will have headaches if there's a machine failure. The failure isn't Windows's fault, it's just that getting a Windows machine up and running is a royal pain. I guess I've digressed from the original discussion, haven't I?- James Ingraham. Sage Automation, Inc. In reply to James Ingraham: You said - . The first version of Vista had to be scrapped and the project started over again from the beginning. The first version of the software was such a disaster that the top management at Microsoft finally had to admit that it would never get out the door. What was finally release as Vista was MS Windows Server 2. That included the revised GUI, DRM, and the changes in the driver interface (which was done to support the DRM). That got shoved out the door (ready or not) several years after the scheduled release date. MS Windows 7 is being released on the normal schedule, but then again they aren't really changing much from MS Vista. The changes are mainly cosmetic (and branding) with a few minor new features. Microsoft normally plans on a new release roughly every two years (for revenue reasons). MS Vista took nearly three times as long because they basically had to do it twice (and scrap the first attempt). Microsoft is a very closed organisation, and not a lot of information leaks out. However, there have been a few articles written by people who saw how things went from the inside, and it is a good example of how *not* to run a large software project (or any sort of project). A lot of the reasons for failure are still in place today, so the version of MS Windows following . Easy to point fingers, I want to see any one of you try to run a software project the size of Vista and pull it off. Do you have any idea the lines of code that were written and the coordination that it takes. And the number of users that are pounding and attacking it on a regular basis. Easy to point fingers, but lets see you pull it off. Dave Ferguson. Control Systems Engineer. With Microsoft's resources, I am certain I could produce a reliable, highly functional operating system. I think Vista achieves the intended goals. After all, they will get 9. Whether, and how well it works seems to be rather immaterial to that goal. You've made money along the way, be happy. Some of us probably have different goals, or at least, how we make money is important. I could make money selling crack. My particular thing seems to be using the best tools to make the most efficient solutions. It's sorta like that IBM commercial for Linux. Yes, you can run a company with a room full of servers and a crew to run around booting and reloading them. And a person to audit and control licenses and track usage. Or you can accomplish the same thing with one blade server and one admin. Microsoft makes a lot more money one way,the company makes a lot more money the other. Which is the better solution kinda depends on who you are, and who you are working for. Why doing automation should require a tithe to Microsoft is the question. They don't add anything that you can't get elsewhere. And their products are less and less suitable with each version for the purpose. But, somehow that doesn't matter. That's what bothers me. Nothing else I do requires them. I have many choices on every other technical task, but they get a cut on every automation project. Why should this be? Regardscww. MODERATORS NOTE: Ok guys we've had enough arguing about Micorsoft and Linux. Before this erupts into a full scale war, I'm pulling the plug. This thread was originally about RSLogix and Vista. If you have any helpful advice, I'll post it. One thing I know for sure Microsoft and Linux users will never agree to disagree. SO obviously every other well educated person out there must be WRONG. The fact is that everyone uses Microsoft because everyone else uses Microsoft and the hastle of converting formats etc. As far as the IBM commercial goes, good hype but not the truth, we do not have a . Give me a break. Dave Ferguson. Control Systems Engineer. Maybe you should change the motto to: Vendors in Control! Regardscww. Hi James. That sounds a bit like . I will say my call volume has definitely increased with the onslaught of Vista on the businesssector. That would be a good sign, but I'm a Linux consultant. Not many want to make the leap to working just yet. Most just want me to do something about Vista. I've considered getting into the . That does improve their upgrade cycle and gets them another revenue bump, but the people I've been hearing aren't at all pleased with the idea of paying for the fix for Vista. I'm sure they'll fall in line though, they always do. I don't understand why, but they do. If anyone else treated them that way they would be out with torches and pitchforks. Regardscww. 12 years and running on the Microsoft bashing. I am getting close to retiring after making a great LIVING working with mostly Microsoft products and solutions that WORK with them. Using the TOOL to produce useful stuff just fine. Without all of the FUD. On to year 1. 3, maybe this will be the one that Linux takes over the world. Watching eagerly and then I will make money with that. Dave Ferguson. Control Systems Engineerbob peterson: . It is true that Vista is not listed in 5.
