    Hi there,

    I am using CODESYS 3.5.18.0 Development System and I'm trying to download missing libraries but it just opens an empty window and I can't click download either (missing_libs.png). This problem seems to appear for different projects (no matter if there are libs missing or not the button shows up) since I updated my environment to SP18. So in projects where I would need to download the libraries I can't compile.

    best regards Nando

    Hi
    Did you find a solution to this issue? I and a colleague are having the same issue. Not sure exactly when this happened - we have multiple installs of different CDS versions. I tried 3.5.17.30 and opened the FileTransfer.project from forge (https://forge.codesys.com/prj/codesys-example/visu-file-trans/home/Home/)

    I've had this problem as well on multiple installations. I reached out to Codesys about the issue and their recommendation was to uninstall and reinstall the IDE, it's 50/50 odds if the reinstall will work. Hopefully a future update will resolve the issue, I'm still on 3.5.17.0 because after much effort I finally got it working on 3 programming workstations. I tried installing 3.5.18.20 on a new workstation but it had the same library issues so instead of upgrading all the workstations to the new version and having to fight with library manager glitches, I uninstalled 3.5.18.20 and installed 3.5.17.0 twice to get it to work.

    We are working on a project and the customer required 3.5.16 BF4. After working on the project for a few weeks I opened it the next morning and it could not access libraries. IecVarAccess could not be accessed. I checked if windows updated - it did not. So no explanation for why it lost access other than that I shut down the computer for the night. Note that I am using a demo license. I still haven't figured out any reason to purchase a license.

    So I spent the next hour reinstalling CodeSys. Note that I did NOT uninstall first. After install I waited another 5 minutes for it to open the first time. I clicked File->Open to open the project. Previously I had selected File->Recent Projects - not sure if that makes and difference. But after this process it did open the project and compile it just fine.

    This is miserable. If this had happened when I went on site to a customer I would have lost hours of work doing the reinstall. Is there a different and quicker fix?
