Search for ID 460767
Cause:
The investigation found that there were conflicts with file version found in C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSCommon\. Examination of the Windows Path showed that the directory C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSCommon\ appeared ahead of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Rockwell\ and C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSView Enterprise\.
NOTE: This problem is machine specific as other computers running Studio are not affected by the order of directories in the Windows Path.
Solution:
The Windows path was modified and C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSCommon\ was placed at the end of the path so that C:\Program Files\Common Files\Rockwell\ and C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSView Enterprise\ appeared first in the path.

What version of windows are you using?
Do you have any antivirus or firewall software programs installed?Running?
After uninstalling, have you tried to load a previous version like 5.0 or 5.1?
Not knowing the answers to these questions yet, I suggest uninstalling everything once again. Disable all firewalls and antivirus software (including windows firewall) and perform a COLD boot. On power up, verify software is still disabled. Install factory talk services first, then ME 6.0. Installing RSLinx Enterprise and RSLinx Classic is optional (until Runtime) so I would not go that far until the ME installation is proven out.

Was removed and installed ver 6.0
Anti virus and firewall was disabled during installation.
Windows is XP sp3.
No have not tried to load a previous version.
I have tried running FTview before installing Enterprise and RSLinx, No success.
I have uninstalled windows updates since before date of last properly working software with no success. Seems like rockwell tech support has given up on me.
