I have several old DisplayStation 2000 HMI units running the same project. One of them recently experienced a hard drive crash. We had a spare, new in box, on the shelf. I fired it up, copied the HMI project files to it and ran the project; I immediately got a message that the project was created with a newer version. Checking the version on the original machine that is still operating shows it is running version 5.5; the Cimplicity version on the DisplayStation 200 that we had on the shelf was original as received from GE with version 4.01. The original integrator is long since out of business, and while they left us with the original project files, both for the PLCs and the HMI projects, they did not provide the original Cimplicity installation CD, or a copy of it.
I have every version of Cimplicity from 6.1 through 8.2, and also the OEM 4.01 CD that was boxed with the DisplayStation, but not 5.5. Any ideas as to where I might be able to come up with the installation files for this version? I downloaded the v5.5 SP3 files from GE website, but running it tells me that I need to have v5.5 installed already for these to work. I even considered installing 6.1, but the DS2K is an NT4 box, and I'm not sure if 6.1 will run on NT. 5.5 is the preferred path.
Thanks in advance...
