Hello. I have downloaded RobotStudio to my work laptop (not networked) which I am using at my home address & have tried to install a Virtual Controller (as I have done before on networked PC’s at work). In the ‘Create Controller from Layout’ option - once I have put a robot on the solution - it is looking for controllers in Robotware 7.0.4 & the next page shows an unsupported combination warning - the next page then continuously asks for Tasks. My colleagues also have this problem on their home based laptops. Any ideas please? ---

7 and up is omnicore controller, right? Is that what you are intending to create? ---

I’ll be honest - I’m not sure if it is omnicore. I just need to create a generic virtual controller to accompany the chosen robot (i have tried a few different IRB robots - same problem for all). This is purely for simulation as well. ---

Go to the Addons tab and add some older Robotware6.xx versions, then try again using that robotware. ---

That cured the problem - thank you very much 🙂 - I’m indebted to you! I will show this fix to my colleagues next week. Have a great weekend! ---

Great. You are welcome, and have a good one yourself.
