Hi, I have been having this problem for quite some time now. I can not create a virtual controller with RobotWare 6. However RobotWare 7 works fine. No error messages or anything. RobotStudio just quit. The last message I get before RS shuts down is (sorry for the french) : _Création du système de commande virtuel._ I can open old projects just fine. I’m currently running Windows 10 PRO and _RobotStudio 2023.3 (64 bits)_ _Version 23.3.10550.0_ But I have been having this problem since several updates of RS. Several months have passed since I first requested help from support but they have been ghosting me. One particularity of my computer is that I’m not admin on it. Company policy Dilbert style… ---

@Mikael_Olofsson I suspect that this is caused by security software running on the PC preventing InstallationManager.exe to launch. Please verify that you are able to launch C:\Program Files (x86)\ABB\RobotStudio 2024\Bin\InstallationManager.exe and/or get in touch with an Admin to grant permissions for Installation Manager.exe to be launched. OmniCore (RW7) uses InstallationManager7.exe which does not seem to be blocked on your PC. ---

Thank you @Maxim Riabichev, I believe you are right. I’m waiting for feed-back from our IT people. I tried to start them separately and the InstallationManager7.exe worked fine. InstallationManager.exe shut down while loading the existing virtual controlers. So I removed them and now I can start the InstallationManager.exe. However, it shuts down when I try to create a new virtual controller. But before doing so, I get a message in a pop-up (sorry for the french). _Appliquer les modifications_ _L’installation mettra à jour le systeème de commandes avec vos_ _sélections et installera le(s) produit(s) / licence(s)._ _Souhaitez-vous continuer?_ ---

Problem solved. It was indeed our security software that messed things up. Thanks for the help ---
