[?+]: How to know the WinCC version of runtime project?

[PLC_ITA]

Hello friend's, my customer send via mail to me a WinCC runtime project but do not know how version has been used to develop the project

If i open the project with WCC 7.0 , no problem, but if i modify this project with a incorrect version when will load a modified project , does not work.

It's possible to know the version of wcc from project ?

thank you to all

See *.dcf

[Version-Number]
SV.07.00.00.00

For earlier versions WinCC <6.2 do not have this tag

my project probably is v6.0 or v6.2 (service pack ?)
do you know a method to read a version ?

Maybe your customer can see it in the windows menu Start, Folders: SIMATIC->Information->Installed software.

Use this VBS-Code in order to display (version, service pack, update) from RT this information in splash window.

Code: Select all

Set WSHShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strWinCCVersion = WSHShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SIEMENS\AUTSW\WinCC\VersionString")

You can open a picture of the project (in the folder GraCS of the project folder) with NOTEPAD and look for "Saved with Version:".

Easier way is to hold on the mouse on the .pdl and you get the information from the tooltip..
program files -> siemens> wincc > wincc projects

Under your project folder ----> gracs -------->
open any pdl and search for version...
