Dies ist fast veraltete Wissen, aber wenn man den Bedarf hat ein Siemens USB Prommer unter Windows 7 zu betreiben (und eventuell mit ein VM), dann habe ich jetzt den Vorgang.
Siemens Support sagt einfach dass man die Simatic Device Drivers verwenden muss, aber nicht wirklich was damit gemeint ist.

So geht es:

HOW TO INSTALL THE SIEMENS USB PROMMER FOR MC AND MMC CARDS IN WINDOWS 7.

As of STEP7 v5.5, there is no seperate driver for the USB Prommer.
The driver is included in the Simatic Device Drivers as of version 8 (Check with the "installed software" tool, "components" tab).
Do NOT install the USB Prommer software v1.x or 2.x. This may mess up your simatic installation (!) and may make it impossible to get the USB Prommer to work at all (!!).


Attach the USB Prommer to a USB port. The LED "POWER" on the prommer should light up.
If the PC is actually a VMware virtual PC, make sure that the USB Prommer is connected to the Guest (disconnected from the host).
The USB Prommer will be recognized by Windows, and it will attempt to install the necessary driver - but possibly fail.
When the driver installation fails, open the Device Manager in Windows Control Panel.
Find the USB Prommer under "SIMATIC Devices". It will not be present if not plugged in a USB port.
If there is a warning triangle next to the Icon for the USB Prommer, right-click and select "disable", followed "by "enable".
The warning triangle should disappear.


Start the tool "memory Card Parameter assignment (32 bit)" in the Windows Control Panel.
Use it to select "external" and "USB".


It should now be possible to activate the menu item in Simatic Manager "File" .. "S7 Memory Card" .. "Open".
If an S7 memory card is plugged, the green LED "BUSY" on the prommer should light up. and a list of blocks on the cards shall appear (if any).


It is possible that every time the USB Prommer is removed and replugged, that it becomes "unrecognised" in the Device Manager.
In STEP7 a message that the USB Prommer is missing may appear when attempting to open a memory card.
If that happens, disable + enable the device again, and the USB Prommer should work again.

Vielleicht hilft das jemand.
