Installing the SIMATIC Automation Tool
Tool installation
1. On your PG/PC, save all your work in progress and close all applications, before installing
the SIMATIC Automation Tool.
2. Execute the SIMATICAutomationToolSetup.exe file to begin the installation.
Installation Restrictions
Only one version of the SIMATIC Automation Tool can be installed on a PG/PC. If you have
a previously installed version (V1.0 or V2.0) this version must be uninstalled before installing
V2.1.
The setup program for SIMATIC Automation Tool V2.1 checks for a previous installation.
This check results in one of the following behaviors:
● If no version of SIMATIC Automation Tool is found, the setup proceeds normally.
● If a V2.1 installation is found, the setup presents the options to "Repair" or "Uninstall" the
previous installation. This is standard behavior for setup applications.
● If a previous version of the application (V1.0 or V2.0) is found, you are informed that the
previous version will be automatically uninstalled to proceed. You may either cancel the
setup, or proceed.
● If a newer version of the application (> V2.1) is found, you are informed of this fact and
the setup does not proceed.
