Why does a part of the HMI Internals Tree get lost?

FAQ #100459

 

Problem
The tree with the HMI internals is no more displayed properly. Almost the whole tree is missing:

 

§ix100294§

Reason
The HMI-Editor is using a file called SSTree.ocx. If per example the siemens product catalogue CA01 is installed, this software will overwrite the SSTree.ocx with a newer version which is not compatible with the HMI-Editor. Therfore the tree of the HMI-Editor will not be displayed properly anymore.

Solution
The file SSTree.ocx is normaly located under WINNT/system32. To make the two softwares run on the same computer it is necessary to copy the SSTree.ocx installed with the HMI-Editor in the directory where PG5 is installed and which contains also the HMI.exe (p.e: C:\Program Files\SAIA-Burgess\PG5 1_3\)
The SSTree.ocx installed with the other software (p.e: Siemens product catalogue CA01) has to be copied in the directroy where this sofware is installed (p.e: C:\Program Files\Siemens\CA01_CH_DEU\catalog\). The SSTree.ocx in the directory system32 has to be deleted.
