Windows XP MODE + the drivers for the USB adapter Version 2.0!!!! works fine.Īlso Using the ehternet connection to go online works also fine. When I installed STEP7 on this system, same problem with blocking service. I imported the XP virtual machine in VMware workstation, here only the windows is imported without the software installed on. Here the software itself is running well. The USB device has problems to start in windows XP mode from microsoft, even with USB2.0. I installed windows XP mode from microsoft, here the installation passes good (also windows XP version 2002 SP3), i will now test the hardware insterfaces and hopfully it will work as i should be. Even with that configuration the installation process was not successfully.
#SIEMENS STEP 7 WINDOWS XP INSTALL#
Last attempt to let it run on vmware workstation, I did a clean install of windows XP SP3, without any network hardware selected at installation.

In device manager you get an error that the device is stopped working, just plug in to a USB2 port or lower. Is it safe to install a version of vmware player next to vmware workstation?Īnyway i just want that the workstation version works fine.Īnyone who has an idea? Or know what the service s7oiehsx really does?Īnother solved issue that i experianced with USB 3, is that the USB communication adapter of Siemens will not work on a USB port 3. I've googled a lot and i hear from people that they have this configuration running well on a vmware player version. I already installed a new (for the second time) fresh windows XP from scratch on the vmware workstation, on top of that i installed also again the software.(only that software no other stuff) I run no software simultanious, just the vm in full screen. When i open windows calculator, i experiance also a slow user interface.Īll this i also tested with the service activated, with the same results.įirst of all, it is not my system that is too small for the job: An i7 processor with 16GB ram. In winCC flexible (another application) i experiance a slow response when scrolling.(what is also not normal) The problems that i experiance is that when i want to go online with my PLC system via network (bridged) the communication server crashes somtimes. The process "S7oiehsx.exe" uses 100% of the CPU time.Īfter ignoring this service, while installing this service always uses a big amount of CPU load (approx 25% when I have 4 cores and one cpu).Įven after reboot this service will go high (what i don't see on my standard XP configuration)Īfter a lot google visits, some say that this service is not necessery, so I stopped the service. When installing the industrial software of siemens STEP7 (intended to program PLC's with) the installation process isn't that normal. This vm may use 3GB ram and has 4 cores and one processor. On this laptop i installed vmware workstation 8 and a virtual version of windows XP 32bit SP3 (also tested with SP2)

Here all the software is running well, no problems. I have a laptop (without vmware) with the configuration -> windows XP 32bit SP3
