RSLogix Emulate Troubles

[Studiologe 0]

Good evening everyone.

 

I just recently tried to get into the whole RSLogix Emulate 5000 setup, for training purposes and setup.
In our AB Software directory I found and installer for RSLogix Emulate 5000 (which was located in the installer directory of 21.03.01 Firmware support. I’m not sure if I installed it correctly, but it wasn’t part of the installer, as it had Its own installer which I ran and received following error:

 

Running setup.exe:

The files for installation requirement Rockwell Automation Driver Package x64 could not be found. The installation will now stop. This is probably due to a failed, or canceled download.

 

Running RSEmulate 500.msi:

1.       A severe error occurred while using our EDS services component. Contact Rockwell Automation Support for Assistance.

 

After clicking OK, the installation continues nevertheless, but throws the following error:

2.       RegOpenKeyEx-1 failed. (Window Titlebar reads C:\Windows\ Installer\MSIC5F8.tmp)

 

However, the installation continues and doesn’t fault out, but when I try to start the emulator I get:

Unable to read Virtual Backplane status. Please make sure that RSLinx Classic is installed and the Virtual Backplane driver is running. Click OK to terminate the Chassis Monitor.

 

I do have RSLinx Classics installed (Revision 3.90.00 CPR 9 SR 9) and running with the mentioned driver.

However I also do know that the manual of the emulator reads that it can not be installed on a PC where SofLogix5800 controller is installed.

 

Looking ath the Installed Controller Support I see that SoftLogix5800 support is enabled by my RSLogix 5000 install, I just don’t know how to uninstall it, or if that is the reason, why my Emulator doesn’t install & run properly.

 

I unfortunately can not afford Rockwell Support, otherwise I would call there to find answers.

 

 

Please advise of what else I could try.
