FAQ
Overview
Why isn't the TwinCAT runtime icon displayed in the Windows menu bar?
If the TwinCAT runtime icon is not displayed after the restart, it may be in the "Hidden icons" area (e.g. in the case of Windows 7). To show the hidden icons, click on the triangle icon in the windows menu bar.
How do I install TwinCAT if the user directories are located on a network drive?
Since the TwinCAT setup is run as an administrator, mapped network directories are not available to the installing administrator. In order to carry out the installation despite that, carry out the following steps:
- 1. Open the command prompt as an administrator.
- 2. Enter the command line command "net use <Drive>:\\server\folder\" so that the drive is also accessible for the setup.
- 3. Start the setup from the same command prompt.
