Indusoft webstudio 8.0 & S7-300 PLC

[ielkhatib]

hello guys,

I'm trying to establish a connection between Indusoft 8.0 & simatic Plcsim but I keep getting the following error:
error initializing driver mpi : PRODAVE DLL load error


Any one knows how to solve this issue ?

have you install an Indusoft driver that matches you S7-300 PLC and method of communications? Serial or Ethernet
Is that driver licensed?

Yes, everything is installed but I keep getting the same error

A quick internet search seems to show that is some very old software like Win95. This is an issue with simatic Plcsim software I think. I can not help with that.
