Update

  • On Windows 10 x64, after installing Step7 MicroWIN on Windows 10 64-bit (V4.0 SP9), you will see the error “pniopcac.exe” every time you restart your computer. How to fix it, please read this post.
  • “@365electricalvn: I found a workaround for this issue. I installed Simatic Manager 5.6 before Micro/Win and after that installation of Micro/Win went perfectly, without any error message. Most probably, Simatic Manager installs PNIO-Adapter (pniopcac.exe) correctly since this is the issue if you try to install only Micro/Win 4.0 with SP9” (Thanks to @guitarguru from Youtube comment).
