I`ve one problem when I try launching the WinCC_OA Project administrator 3.14 P005 in Windows Server 2012 R2. I`ve attach the error, could you help me please. The pvssInst is not locked. I`ve install like administrator and with UAC disable.
I`ve install the 3.13 P15 version and works fine, but we have to use the 3.14 version.
I hope someone could help me.

Re: Installation on Windows Server 2012 R2
Finally we were able to find out what the problem is. In our new setup (>=3.14) we do not let the user enter the owner of the machine. But this information is still used when generating the pvssInst.conf during setup. It is read from the registry from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\RegisteredOwner.
In your case this entry is empty.
So to circumvent the issue you can either set the InstallationUser of all projects in pvssInst.conf after installation to something like:
InstallationUser = Windows User
or
InstallationUser = ""
or you can change the registry entry to some User. In that case every future (patch)-installation will work.
Maybe we can do a fix too, development will analyze it. But at least these workarounds can be used.
