@viscoelastic and @Joe Tauser - Thank you! All is good now. I was able to find the "InstallShield Installation Information" folder and deleting it solved my problem.
-
Thanks, @viscoelastic. That folder does not appear to exist on my computer. I poked around a bit and did find an InstallShield folder elsewhere (under Common Files), but nothing seemed relevant to VisiLogic.

I have a brand new Windows 10 desktop computer and cannot get VisiLogic to install. Here is the error message:
Any idea what might be the problem? FYI, I have turned off UAC and attempted the install using "Run as Administrator".

Also, I presume from the title of the post, you are referring to the -V and +V on the CAN interface on the V1210, not the main power supply.
Apparently someone on this forum has good reading comprehension. It certainly isn't me!
-
Great information, @kratmel! Thanks.

So if your power supply has load capacity less than 4A, than short time reverse polarity may activate power supply short circuit protection.
It is recommended to be careful with power supply polarity.
I'm sure my quick action is what saved me. The power supply I normally use in my office is 4.2 A (100W). Sometimes when setting things up for a quick test I get in a hurry and don't triple check the connections, but I've modified my bench with a bunch of pre-wired 5.5mm barrel connectors so that reverse polarity is no longer possible.
-
I have reversed the 24V power supply leads on my test bench Vision PLCs (including V1210s) many times. Each time was for only a few seconds, as it was immediately obvious, but that has never caused damage to any of my PLCs.

SB148 not work on V700. Any ideas for the V700?
The V700 has equivalents to all the Ethernet System Bits. In this case Socket Status Request #22 would return the value of 23. Go to the help file and read the topic "Vision700 - Using Ethernet".

I am programming a V130 PLC using VisiLogic 9.8.80. I have placed a Password variable on the screen for the user to enter a numeric password. However, when the screen appears, the user must press “Enter” before entering the password in order to make the variable “Active”. It’s the only variable on the screen. According to the Help file (see below) the display should load with the variable “Active”, but it does not. What do I need to do to make the variable default to “Active” when the screen is first loaded?
-
It would be most helpful to tell us which PLC you are using and what you are trying to do with the Data Tables.
-
Try this:
Open a BLANK project and download to the PLC.
Perform "Initialize & Reset"
Then try downloading your project again.

On an unrelated related note, I have determined that version 9.8.80 causes the dreaded Explorer looping problem. If I edit a file in 9.8.80, save it, and the attach the .vlp file to a post on the forum using the Windows File Open dialog, it totally screws up my computer by causing explorer.exe to continually restart.
I have had that happen on two different Win10 laptops, once while I was out of town on a business trip. Without my computer my resources for solving the problem were more limited. Do we understand the exact sequence that causes this and why?

I see a lot of these:

Just recently I started having a problem with VisiLogic version 9.8.80 on my Windows 7 desktop. Every time I open a file, the file opens then VisiLogic immediately freezes. I have to open Task Manager to kill the program, then when I restart VisiLogic it goes through the standard "VisiLogic was not shut down properly. Press OK to recover." Then VisiLogic opens the program and all is well until the next time I open a file and I have to go through the same process.
I am very experienced with VisiLogic (> 12 years) and know all the ins and outs. The program was installed and run "as administrator". I have uninstalled and reinstalled VisiLogic to no avail. I have installations of multiple other versions of VisiLogic that I access with Version Swapper and none of the others have a problem, only 9.8.80. Further, 9.8.80 works fine on my Win10 laptop. I also keep known working versions of each VisiLogic version installation on another drive (as you can tell I have encountered a lot of headaches with VisiLogic) and these previously untouched installations do not work either.
I'm sure Microsoft has hosed up my Win7 desktop with some update that has caused this, but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem or if anyone with some in-depth understanding of the file open process that might have a clue where to begin troubleshooting the problem. Maybe the problem will go away with the next Microsoft update, but as of now this is a real pain, plus it prevents me from copy/paste from one project to another since the file kill from task manager also kills the copy/paste buffer.
Any thoughts?

Rube Goldberg machines are always fun, but that was one of the more interesting and clever ones.
-
Have you confirmed with a voltmeter that you actually have voltage present? Have you confirmed that your wiring is exactly as specified in the installation document that came with your PLC?

I think he's just got things wrong way around. @Khom, you need to check the box to the left of the word "Toggle", then link MB 24 to O 0 the reverse of the way you have it:
MB 24 O 0
---| |------( )-
Edit: Upon re-reading, I think you're using some other condition to activate MB 24 (some alarm condition), not trying to toggle it by touch on the screen. In that case, simply leave the Toggle box unchecked and the logic will work properly as long as you have a coil somewhere for MB 24 that is activated for your alarm condition.

In the HELP file, look up variable tab order. The topic is called "How Keypad Entry Variables Work". All is explained there.

Try downloading a BLANK program, Initialize & Reset, check for touchscreen functionality, then download your program again.
