PLC Database. How to re-install missing MFGs

[Matt116]

Win 7 Pro SP1 64bit

ACADE 2015 SP1

When I go to add a PLC module only 1 manufacture is listed.... How do I add the others? I tried going: Control Panel > Programs and Features > ACADE 2015 > Add Remove features > selected the manufactures I wanted > Update... Everything seems to update/finish but I still only have one manufacture in my PLC database and yes ACADE is pointing to the right place/location of the database.

Thanks

Hi Matt

I'm not sure why the PLC database files didn't update. (maybe the file folder is archieved or locked down) (if it is remove the file protection on the folder, i,e, unlock it)

You could try copying over a working copy of the database.

Install a trial version (with all of the Manufacturers selected) then copy the Database over to your computer (the PLC Database with everything installed should be around 55mb).

Or you could re-install the Software on your computer.

I hope this helps,

James

I pretty much did what you suggested.  I installed ACADE on my laptop them copied the "PLC" folder over to my desktop, works fine now but it does suck that I lost my edited PLC modules.

Hmmm,

If you still have a backup with the modifications you might be able to merge the Databases.

If not, there is not much you can do. you might get lucky and the data may exist in the Scratch databse.

But it would porbably be easier to just recreate the plc modules in the PLC editor.

It wasn't any thing major just over the years I had changed wire pointing dirrections and break points to suit my needs.
