PROFINET DCP Installation Fix

Problem:
 
When launching the PROFINET DCP discovery tool, the following symptom is observed - "No valid Ethernet adapters available." PME is already ran with administrative rights and the host ethernet adapters are still not found.





Solutions:

Solution 1: We have put together a simple script that attempts to reinstall the DCP driver. 64 and 32 bit versions of the batch file are attached.
 
  1. Download the appropriate file per your Windows operating system type (64 or 32 bit), then change the extension to *.bat.
  2. Shut down Machine Edition.
  3. Run the bat file by right clicking on the file and choose 'run as administrator.
  4. Relaunch Machine Edition and then retest the DCP tool and verify you now see the windows host network adapters.

Solution 2: If the above issue is not resolved after running the batch file, then additional commands are needed to resolve the issue, refer to the attached DCP DriversCleanup.pdf document. 

Solution 3: If the issue is not resolved after Solution 2, download the stand alone PROFINET DCP Utility Tool and run it from existing computer or any other computer (PME not required). 

Solution 4: Use a 3rd party alternative, PROFINET DCP tool 3rd party alternative.
