MicroWIN, problem: "Class not registered"

[Mikk 0]

Hello,

I am not very experienced with Siemens PLC's

I want to change program in one S7-200 CPU 226 (profibus).

I have never connected my laptop to it before and I don't have that PLC's program. I have PC Adapter USB A2 cable for that and V4.0 STEP 7 MicroWIN SP7 program.

I connected the cable, opened the program and tried different settings for connection, most of times the test in diagnostics says that status is OK.

But! in communications window when ever I try to refresh the adapter is gives me error: "Class not registered"

So I'm not able to upload the program from PLC to my laptop.

Can anyone give me support?

 Classes are registered during the installation of the software in the registry. If you get an error code " class not registered " there maybe something wrong in the installation or you may have installed incompatible software.

Thank you Jairus, you are totally right, the installed version was totally incompatible for my operating system.

for Windows 7 and XP SP3 you need latest SP9 aka  V4.0.9.25
for older Windows OS you must use older versions.
as far as I know then it doesn't work on windows 8 and 10.

I'm using virtual machine or VMware in that case...
