Trouble Opening File in TIA Portal V15.1 Due to Missing STARTDRIVE V15.1 UP2 Installation - Need Assistance

Question:

Hello, I am having trouble opening a file I worked on in TIA Portal V15.1. It keeps prompting me to install 'STARTDRIVE V15.1 UP2', which is no longer available on the Siemens website. I tried downloading update 3 software, but it still requires the UP2 file for installation. Can anyone provide assistance with this issue? Thank you in advance!
