Hey there! Nice job on setting up TIA Portal V18. Now, regarding WinCC v7.5, I remember encountering a similar issue. It could be due to an OS compatibility issue since WinCC v7.5 generally works best with Windows 7 or 10. Check your compatibility, and make sure you're running it as an administrator. Also, double-check that your antivirus software isn't blocking the installation. If none of these work, you might need to clean uninstall and try again. Always remember to backup your projects before doing so. Good luck!
