Hello, I recently tried to install FactoryTalk View RT ME v11 on a Windows 7 laptop running Studio 5000 versions 20, 21, 24 and 30. The FT installation installed FT Linx. The Logix Designer then would not connect to any controller because RSLinx was no longer there. I attempted to remedy the missing RSLinx by uninstalling the V30 of the Studio 5000 and reinstalling it such that RSlinx would be installed along with it. I received notification that a newer version of RSLinx enterprise was already installed. The long and short is after the FTLinx was uninstalled (by uninstalling the FT View), the v30 of logix designer would not reinstall from the original "DVD" media that had been downloaded in 2017 or 2018 before I began work here. Rockwell no longer provides this version for download, but I can download v31.02. My question now is will my activation be legitimate if I download and install v31.02. I have since installed RSLinx Classis Lite, and v20,21 and 24 are working so far (I have one controller left to connect to). I see that there are some projects on my desk top that have whited out and will not open. Also, can the FT View be installed without this conflict. Am I missing something here? Any direction would be helpful, thanks in advance.
