Fixed this Crazy Issue
Hi Guys,
Yes I got this weird problem too one day for no reason. I'm on Win 7 Pro 64 bit. Could not open Logix 5000 v 20 or RSView ME 6.1 at all. Complete crash right from the get go with error message about access violations.
1) In the folder option menu Un-Hide (show) all hidden files and folders
2) Go to this folder. C:\ProgramData\Rockwell Automation\FactoryTalk Activation. Note that "ProgramData" is a normally hidden folder. You have it even if you think you can't see it.
3) You'll see a bunch of (hidden) .rnl files delete them from this folder (but save them somewhere else incase other files fail. There is one .rnl file for each Rockwell program which you startup.
