Has anyone succeeded in getting RSLinx to work on Windows 8? I had a new PC with Windows 8 64-bit pre-installed and could not get RSLinx to work correctly. I added an Ethernet/IP driver and it would show my hardware in RSWho, but if I right clicked to configure or show statistics it would always timeout and give a lost connection error.
I tried RSLinx versions 2.57 and 2.59. I also tried various compability settings (Win7, XP SP2, XP SP3, Run as Admin) and set the UAC to its lowest setting with no luck.
I created a Hyper V virtual machine, loaded it with Windows 7, and RSLinx would work fine in that. I finally gave up and installed Windows 7 on the PC and now everything works fine.
