Installing rslogix 500 emulator on windows 10

INSTALLING RSLOGIX 500 EMULATOR ON WINDOWS 10 INSTALL

Right Click on Loadable Drivers and select New->Key and name the key EMU500 Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Wow6432Node->Rockwell Software->RSLinx->Loadable Drivers. Open the Registry Editor (Start->Enter regedit in the open field). Essentially a manual patch to create the needed registry key (the driver DLL turns out to be installed already). It has allowed me to get the emulator to show up in RSLinx 2.59 running Win 7 ењ†4 Pro. I received the following from RA support. If necessary, I may go back to RSLinx 2.57 to get it back, since the drivers I gained going to 2.59 are of no use on that PC anyhow. I will worry about it tomorrow when I get back to work. In doing that, I may have broken the Emulate driver, and it didn't fix the crashing problem (blowing away the harmony files fixed the crashing problem). A week or two ago, I had problems with RSLinx crashing very frequently, so I updated it from 2.57 to 2.59. I remember installing Emulate, Logix, Linx and others a few months ago on my new Win7 machine, and I thought I tested everything, and maybe I did. I was able to figure out what I needed using alternate methods. It's not a deal breaker, just something I noticed today when I was trying to analyze some code from a machine that was unavailable for real testing.

That may be the case, but I have slept since then ) The first time time I installed Emulate 500 in '06 on my old XP box, and the recent time a couple of months ago, I don't recall the 'EMU' driver being a separate installation or optional within the RSLinx/Emulate installation. It is not available in the drop down list when I configure drivers.

I did not install it outside of the normal installation of Emulate 500 and RSLinx.

Is the driver NOT available in Linx OR did you not install it?
