Very late to this party, but since I'm currently building up a Windows 11 Rockwell Logix VM at the moment I've got some tips.
Install from Oldest to Newest.
If you install something new, like a 64bit CodeMeter Licence manager... when it comes to the 32bit installation down the track things will break. The 32bit installer just will NOT know about 64bit anything.
Unfortunately even going from Oldest to Newest there are challenges.
Rockwell have occassionally re-released old versions (v16 is a good example) with the newest of other things (like Start Pages, Help, Activations) and when you then try to install something like v17 it will get all complainy.
Also anything that wants .NET 1.0/1.1 on a Windows8/10/11 will be tricky. Finding the .NET 1.0/1.1 redistributables is almost impossible via Microsoft anymore.
The other issue is the Microsoft HTML Help Updater used for older RSLogix5000 releases. The way I got around this was to abandon the Setup.exe, go straight for the Logix.msi file, and use Orca to edit it to remove the check it has requiring it be run from Setup.exe.. then it will just install without doing the whole pre-req thing.
I never did find a good way to prevent all the Adobe Reader / Adobe Air installations.. but I just uninstalled it afterwards and it seemed fine.
You can't easily have v6, v7, or v8 installed at the same time.
And given these are 16bit installers they will not natively work under 64bit Windows OS (i.e. Windows 11).
The multi-installer seems to only be the most popular versions (and those without security/safety issues that won't be fixed).
My build up currently has, RSLogix 5000 v8.02,v10.07,v11.16,v12.06,v13.04,v14.01,v15.02,v16.05,v17.01,v18.02,v19.01,v20.06,v21.02,v23.00,v24.02,v26.01,v27.00,v28.03,v29.00,v30.02,v31.02,v32.04,v33.01,v34.01,v35.00
Plus RSLogix5 / 500... I've abandoned the old PLC2 and AI2 / AI5 packages. If a customer still has one of these, they can pay extra for me to mess around with getting a working environment for them.
Foolishly I included the Logix Firmware files too.. so it's chewing up a fair bit of disk space (~70GB).
But at least I never have to worry about not having the right version.
PS: For the 16bit installer (and even 16bit application) stuff, I found this:

Based on WINE (Windows Emulator for linux), it had a few challenges.. but got there easier than a separate XP VM or similar.
