Are there any versions of RSlinx lite that will run on windows 7 pro 64 bit? Been trying for hours here to get it setup. Downloaded VMware but it won't run either!
 
OK, whenever I try and run linx or VMware I get the following error:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)

Any ideas?
 
VMWare and RSLinx Classic are very different software products, so if they both fail to run you've got a more significant and basic problem with your Windows 7 installation.

I'm running RSLinx Classic 2.59 and VMWare Workstation 7.1 on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine (a Dell Precision M4500) so I know for certain those versions are compatible.

Ditto to that. Except my laptop is a HP.

No problems here. I am currently using Win 7 Pro 64-bit with RSLinx v2.59 configuring my USB/RS232 converter. But then I have no idea what version of anything you are using. I'm also wondering if you have a real serial port or a USB/RS232 converter. If only there was a way for us to know these things.

.......was that subtle enough? :)

Your consistent if nothing else Opera!:mad:
 
It's RS linx classic 2.57.00 CPR 9 SR 3 downloaded from here: http://www.ab.com/linked/programmablecontrol/plc/micrologix/downloads.html

Can't even get in uninstalled. Is there anywhere I can download and try version 2.59?

I have the same free RSlinx lite 2.57 installed on my win7 PC at home that I have never had any issues with.

If you want to try a newer version though, you will need a tech-connect contract, a valid serial # for a RSLogix product, and your company name, and you can download any version of RSlinx that you can want from the "Software Downloads" section of the RA website.

RSLinx is actually a free download for anyone. You have to register at the RA site, but no Tech Connect is required to register.
Pretty much everything else requires a Tech Connect contract. RSLinx is an exception though. Unless something changed that I am unaware of.

And version 3.60 is the latest and greatest (as of today anyways)
