Hi Mickey, Thanks for the quick response. The compartibility list for SIMATIC software package with various versions of the STEP 7 standard package included windows vista ultimate version but it still would not work in my case. could it mean my version of STEP 7 V5.4 is old?. I need some more help.

Step7 V5.4 is not an old version and should run on Vista.
Have you tried installing the SP packages as well? (SP2, SP3).
Do you have administrators rights on your machine? Or any antiVirus software running while doing the install?
