I was debating putting alot of the RA support issues I so far have had with this project, but decided to let is slide and get to the point of the current issue I need some help resolving. Trust me I have had many issue resolved by the members of this great forum than I have had with RA support, and all I usually do is use the search tool
Here is some background information: Upgraded a BPCS & SIS system to redundant Win Server 2008 with FactoryTalk View SE v7 / ControlNet v19 and several Win7 clients FTV and RSLogix 5000 v20. All system have July 2014 roll-up patch. The BPCS PLC processor is L72 & the SIS PLC is L62.
Problem: HMI FTV has screens for sequence/steps control used for burner management with a button to open PLC LOGIC using the "OpenRSLogix5000" command. This would allow operator's to view the code for that seq/step. Looking a the command-parameters everything looks fine (worked fine before upgrade for many yrs.) Using the FTV OpenRSLogix5000 wizard and clicking the program file path and select the correct *.ACD then click the routine the following popup message occurs "Logix 5000 is not installed"
This is what I have found from RA support center
478034 - Logix 5000 is not installed

Problem
After upgrading FactoryTalk Services platform to CPR9 SR5 using the built-in command:
OpenRSLogix5000 command will return the following:
Logix 5000 is not installed.
Solution
This is fixed with v21 of RSLogix5000.
Seems to me a lame solution and "NO, installing v21 is not an option at this point in time"
Does anyone have any bright ideas or work around for this type of issue?
