anyone an Idea?

Its Windows 11 Pro

Hi Peter,

If I recall correctly you need to have a specific IronPython version installed.

The version of IronPython required by RIM is 2.7.4 and it can be downloaded from ‘https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/releases/download/ipy-2.7.4/IronPython-2.7.4.msi’.

Ok I installed the IronPython and restarted to PC
Did try to open the pack and go but getting the same result.

Not sure if the Actual RobotStudio have bigger Problems cause I tried to open an Older PackandGo file that I could open with Version 2023 and try open it with latest I get:

RobotStudio .NET exception: Option “abb.robotics.robotware.robots.irb2600.12-1_65.typec” is not part of the added product manifest files features, check the feature name or dependency products

If check in the ABB LIbrary the Robot is there.

Or Maybe its an Windows 11 Problem cause As I tried creating the Conroller manualy from Backup I get:

RobotStudio .NET exception: C0040403 : No response from controller.
Netscan timeout

Base exception: RobApiException
C0040403 : No response from controller.
Netscan timeout

Yeah, it sounds like there might be something on your PC that is preventing the controller from either be created, or started, or both.

Check if you have some anti-virus blocking the RobotStudio processes such as InstallationManager.exe in the RS installation folder, and RobVC.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ABB Industrial IT\Robotics IT\RobVCCommon
