Issue 1: An error occurs when installing the latest Siemens touch screen software. How to solve it?
The first item is just an authorization software; you can skip it. Other programming like STEP7, WINCC, and 200, even the communication line drivers, as long as they are Siemens software, will include the software shown in the first item in your image. It’s just a different version and does not affect usage. Although I don’t know the specific reason for the error, you can simply not check this item in the previous step’s selection. Then, install another version of the authorization program from other software, or you might already have a lower version of this software on your computer.
Issue 2: Problems occurred during the installation of Siemens touch screen software, errors during installation
1. There is already an existing version of SQL Server 2005 or lower in the system, which causes a conflict.
2. The system may not support this version of the software, consider changing the system.
Issue 3: After the software installation, I cannot proceed with the wizard, but I can open previous project programs. I downloaded the 2008SP2 version online. What is the issue with this installation? How to install it correctly?
The error code is:
Could not find folder; C:/DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS / ALL USERS / APPLICATION DATA / SIEMENS AG / SIMATIC WINCC FLEXIBLE 2008 / CACHES / 1.3.2.0/READ /TEMPLATE -ZH-CN.TMP
When creating a new project in WinCC flexible 2008, if you encounter the error message “Could not find file “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Siemens AG\SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2008\Caches\1.3.0.0_183.1\Read\Template_zh-CN.tmp” (could not find the temporary file in the specified folder), this is caused by the deletion of temporary files (*.tmp) when using 360 security software to clear junk files. Delete the folder “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Siemens AG\SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2008” and then recreate the WinCC flexible project. The above folder will be recreated when the flexible software starts again, allowing you to create a new WinCC flexible project.
Issue 4: Problems occurred during the installation of Siemens touch screen software WinCC flexible 2008 SP4, how to resolve the dialog box that pops up?
1. If the installation prompts for a restart, especially if it repeatedly prompts for a restart, please open the registry and find the key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\SESSION MANAGER named PendingFileRenameOperations. Check this key, delete the directory file it points to, and then delete the key, or directly delete the key itself.
Do not restart, continue with your software installation.
2. Using a VBS script
Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject(“Wscript.Shell”)
WshShell.RegDelete “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations”
Set WshShell = Nothing
Save the above script to a text file, then rename the text file extension from TXT to VBS.
Issue 5: After successfully installing the Siemens touch screen software WinCC_flexible_2008_SP4 for the first time, I cannot open or create projects, it prompts
The error is obvious; your SQL server is not running. Check if your antivirus software is blocking it. If you really cannot find the reason, uninstall it, disable all antivirus software, and reinstall (it may also be due to an incomplete installation).
Previously, I encountered this situation due to an incomplete installation, mainly due to system issues. My computer was running Windows 7 Home Edition and later upgraded to the Ultimate Edition. Precautions: 1. After extracting with WinRAR, be careful that the extraction directory should not contain any Chinese characters, and all upper-level folders during installation should not have Chinese characters; otherwise, you will receive errors like “Cannot find SSF files” during installation. 2. If you encounter infinite restart prompts during installation, go to the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager and delete PendingFileRenameOperations.
Issue 6: The installation program for the Siemens Human Machine Interface prompts that the SSF file is not found, and installation cannot proceed. How to solve this?
Copy the installation files to the root directory, ensuring that there are no Chinese characters. The installation program’s path contains Chinese names, so it cannot find the corresponding files during the detection process. The solution is to copy the installation folder to the root of the hard drive. For example, if your installation program is stored in the “STEP7” folder, you can copy it to “D:\”. Then, find the “setup” icon in “D:\STEP7” and double-click to install.
