00:00:05,450 --> 00:00:10,760
So the first thing that we need to do to get our development environment for this course set up is to
1

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,580
download and install WinCC Version 8.
2

3
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:20,300
Now, if you have a previous version such as WinCC 7.4 or 7.5, you can use those versions totally fine.
3

4
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:24,290
Everything is compatible in this course with those versions.
4

5
00:00:24,290 --> 00:00:29,450
Now WinCC Version 8 does look a little different than earlier versions, so some of the screens may
5

6
00:00:29,450 --> 00:00:34,400
look a little different, but it's going to be okay if you are installing WinCC Version 8, you
6

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:40,400
can use the link from the class resources to get here, or simply do a Google search for WinCC version
7

8
00:00:40,430 --> 00:00:41,300
8 download.
8

9
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:42,530
It will bring you here.
9

10
00:00:42,530 --> 00:00:47,360
Make sure you're on the Siemens site to make sure you're not on some third party site.
10

11
00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:53,090
Now on this page you can download the Release Notes General Information system for WinCC.
11

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,320
I do recommend you download that and read that, or at least keep it for reference.
12

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,820
Now the trial software is the same software as WinCC, so downloading this is going to be the same experience
13

14
00:01:04,820 --> 00:01:06,890
as what you purchase from Siemens.
14

15
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:10,040
These four files are what you're going to need to download.
15

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:10,400
Now.
16

17
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,280
When you download, it's going to ask you to either register with Siemens or log in with your credentials.
17

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,530
If you're downloading from outside the United States, you're going to have to fill out an export form,
18

19
00:01:21,530 --> 00:01:27,320
let them know who you are and where you're downloading this to, and then it may take a day or two for
19

20
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:30,740
them to authorize it, and they will email you a download link.
20

21
00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:38,360
So once you have downloaded these four files, then I generally move these to a space on my hard drive.
21

22
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,480
And then you're just going to double click this executable.
22

23
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,610
And what that is going to do is generate the installation folder.
23

24
00:01:46,610 --> 00:01:48,650
And then you're just going to run setup.
24

25
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:52,070
Now I already have wink version eight on my machine.
25

26
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:55,070
And so I'm not going to run through the installation.
26

27
00:01:55,070 --> 00:01:58,910
So what I want you to do is run through the wink installation.
27

28
00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:00,740
You can leave everything at default.
28

29
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:05,150
You do not have to check web UX or web navigator or anything like that.
29

30
00:02:05,150 --> 00:02:10,220
Once you're done with that, I want you to come back to the download page and you want to go to this
30

31
00:02:10,220 --> 00:02:15,380
link for the updates for WinCC, and it will list all the available updates.
31

32
00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:18,890
So at the time of this recording, update four is the latest.
32

33
00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:24,500
You can always just download the latest update because they always contain the earlier updates.
33

34
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:30,260
So you don't have to download all of these, and you'll just download the latest update files and install
34

35
00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:32,330
them as normal and then reboot.
35

36
00:02:32,330 --> 00:02:35,690
And then you should have wink on your system.
36

37
00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:36,620
You can launch it.
37

38
00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:41,060
And if you look at help about, it'll tell you exactly what version you have.
38

39
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:44,360
I've got version eight update four for this course.
39

40
00:02:46,490 --> 00:02:52,730
So if you haven't installed WinCC V8, go ahead and get the link from the course resources.
40

41
00:02:52,730 --> 00:02:55,700
Download WinCC Version 8 and install it.
41

42
00:02:55,700 --> 00:03:01,970
After you do that, you can reboot and then be sure to visit the updates link I showed you.
42

43
00:03:01,970 --> 00:03:03,770
It's also in the resources.
43

44
00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:07,130
Install those updates and I'll see you in the next section.
