PLC Designer Installer can update older PLC Designer versions (>V4.1, V3.x) (corrected from V4.1.1)

     

Corrected from:

PLC Designer Installer V4.1.1

 

Behavior of the new version:

Add-ons for older PLC Designer versions can no longer be updated. In the PLC Designer Installer, these PLC Designer versions are marked as 'Locked'. The <Change> button is grayed out.

To install add-ons from other sources, you can continue to use the CODESYS Package Manager (menu 'Tools' > 'CODESYS Package Manager').

 

 

Description of behavior: 

Add-ons from PLC Designer versions <V4.1 including V3 can be updated via the PLC Designer Installer. The <Change> button displays a red box showing how many add-ons from the respective PLC Designer version can be updated. 


Conditions under which the behavior occurs: 

If older versions of PLC Designer (V3, V4) are installed in addition to PLC Designer V4.1, the PLC Designer Installer can update the add-ons for these PLC Designer versions.

 

Affected products: 

PLC Designer Installer from V4.1 onwards

 

Short-term measures, recommendations, assessment: 

The add-ons for older PLC Designer versions must not be updated. This function has only been tested and approved with PLC Designer V4.1. 

Updating add-ons from an older PLC Designer version could impair their functionality.

Downgrading an already updated add-on to its original version is not supported for older PLC Designer versions (<V4.1, V3). To install the original add-on versions, you must uninstall the corresponding PLC Designer and reinstall it.
