    I have a Control Win V3.5 SP20 (64-bit) application, and until now, I open the program (with a password) and download it. However, I need to give the client the option to install the program on the Controller, without them having to open it and access the code. So, I followed these steps:
    1 – In the Online => Create Boot Application menu, I saved the generated files in a directory:
    Application.app
    Application.crc
    PlcLogic\visu\ directory with several files
    2 – In the SysTray, I ran the PLC, and it created a directory. In the root of this directory (C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\E84889DB), I pasted Application.app and Application.crc.
    Since it created a \visu directory, I pasted the PlcLogic\visu\ files generated in Create Boot Application into it.
    3 - In the general Codesys directory (C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64), I edited CodesysControl.cfg, adding:
    [CmpLog]
    Application.1=Application
    4 - When running the PLC, nothing happens and the TargetVisu screen does not open.
    What I'm doing wrong?

    I did these steps and it worked:
    - Copied Application.app and Application.crc to the Folder C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\ID_of_CPU\PlcLogic\Application\
    copied the visu folder content to the folder C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\ID_of_CPU\PlcLogic\Application\visu\

    • Changed by Notepad the CODESYSControl.cfg at the folder C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\ID_ of_CPU\
      Where is [CmpApp], adding a line with: Application.1=Application
