How to install PG5 2.0 on a 64-bit operating system?

FAQ #101463

 

Introduction
When running PG5 2.0.200 a new USB device driver for PCDs is installed.on a 64 bit platform the following points need to be considered:

• A new USB driver is installed
  As the "old" USB driver for SBC PCDs has been designed for 32 bit systems it can not be registered on 64 bit platforms.
  Therefore the setup of PG5 2.0 SP2 installs a new USB driver which is also supported on 64 bit systems.
• After the installation of PG5 2.0.200, the SCommDll from PG5 1.4 needs to be updated (the according installer is delivered together on the same DVD as PG5 2.0.200)
• The BACnet Configurator is supporting 64 bit systems starting with PG5 2.0.200.

Installation procedure of the 64 bit version of the USB driver for PG5 versions before PG5 2.0.200

• Do not connect a PCD to the USB driver before the installation of PG5 and the driver 
• Install PG5 2.0.150 (during the prompt whether you want to install the (old) USB driver, you can say "No"; it won't work anyway as Windows won't let you install an USB driver designed for a 32-bit system)
• Close PG5 2.0 (in case you launched it after its installation) 
• Launch the Saia Burgess USBSetup from the following folder from your PG5 2.0.150 CD (or the downloaded CD image):
      \CDImage\PG5 Stand Alone\S-Usb Driver 64\SaiaUsbSetup_2.0.150.exe
• Follow the instructions (and click "Install" if you get asked whether you want to install the device software from Saia-Burgess Controls AG
• After the installation, connect your PCD to your PC
• In case Windows does not find the driver automatically: The Saia Burgess USB-driver for 64 bit systems is now stored in the folder:
      c:\Program Files\SAIA-Burgess\PG5_20\Drivers\SaiaUsb\
  !!! Do not mix it up with the path to the "old" driver which is:
      c:\Program Files\SAIA-Burgess\PG5_20\Driver USB\ 
• In case PG5 1.4 is also installed on this PC, pleas update the SComm from PG5 1.4 as well (otherwise the USB communication from PG5 1.4 fails)

Remarks

• The new USB device driver is installed also on 32-bit operating systems.
