I am encountering an error when trying to open a program in RSLogix 5000 version 16. I have attempted to remove and reinstall the source files, but the issue persists.

Encountering issues like these is a common occurrence for users of Windows 7 Professional when running CCleaner or after Windows updates. To address this, I have saved the RSLogix 5000 files to my hard drive and installed them from there. Whenever the issue arises, a quick repair solves the problem within minutes.

It sounds like you've certainly taken the right initial steps. At this point, I'd recommend you try running RSLogix 5000 v16 in a compatibility mode. This version might be conflicting with certain elements of your newer operating system. Go to the .exe file of RSLogix 5000 v16, right click it and select 'properties', go to 'compatibility' and tick 'Run this program in compatibility mode', choosing an older OS from the drop-down menu. Ensure to select 'Run this program as an administrator', too. If this doesn't help, there might be an issue with the RSLogix Emulate 5000 which you are using.
I've encountered a similar problem before with RSLogix 5000. Since you've already tried reinstalling the source files, I'd suggest you to check your compatibility settings. Sometimes, programs may operate differently due to compatibility mode settings. Try setting the RSLogix 5000 program to run in compatibility mode for a different version of Windows. Also, make sure you have the appropriate service pack for your operating system. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Rockwell Automation support for more specialized help.
This issue could be due to compatibility with your operating system as RSLogix 5000 Version 16 is quite an older version. Try running it in compatibility mode or consider using a virtual machine with an OS that supports this particular version. Additionally, ensure all required drivers and software components are properly installed. There might also be a specific patch or update for that version—could be worth checking Rockwell's website for that. Lastly, make sure you don't have multiple versions of RSLogix running simultaneously as they might interfere with each other. Stay patient, troubleshooting can oftentimes be a process of elimination!
This sounds like a compatibility issue. Ensure that your operating system, firmware, and RSLogix 5000 are all compatible with each other. Remember that version 16 of RSLogix 5000 works best with firmware version 16. In some cases, it could also be an issue of administrative rights. Try running the program as an administrator to see if that resolves your problem. Furthermore, make sure any antivirus software isn't blocking this specific version.
Have you tried running RSLogix 5000 version 16 as an administrator? Sometimes permission issues can interfere with the software opening correctly. Additionally, check if there are any compatibility settings enabled for that program, especially if you’re running it on a newer operating system. Also, make sure there are no lingering processes from version 16 still running in the background that might be causing conflicts. If those don’t work, it might be worth exploring if there are any recent updates or patches specifically for version 16 that you might have missed. Good luck!
