After the installation of STEP 7 Micro/WIN Version3.2 + SP4, the entry S7IVI is available in the Registry again. Important: Do not make any manual change in the registry. No warranty can be given for direct changes in the registry, since this is the responsability of the user. In any case it is recommendable, to make a backup of the registry before accessing the registry as decribed above. These settings are moreover computer specific. This means, they must be carried out once more when copying the project on another computer. Note: The Service Pack 4 (SP4) for STEP 7 Micro/WIN Version 3.2 can be found in Entry ID 16520047.

STEP 7-Micro/WIN SP4 keeps running when you install S7-DOS QUESTION: STEP 7-Micro/WIN SP4 keeps running when you install S7-DOS. What can you do about it? ANSWER: Due to a fault in the DCOM settings, Windows Installer either doesn't react any more or reacts wrongly. Check your Windows operating system to see if a Service Pack is installed. If you are using MS Windows 2000, you need at least SP2 and if you are using MS Windows NT 4.0 you need SP6.
