  ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Schneider Electric Shared\SRCSDK’.

• Search for any files with the name in the form of ‘IntegrityCheckHashHotfix****.dll’
  (i.e., IntegrityCheckHashHotfix_0627752R.dll, etc.).

Note:

1. Ensure that any Control Expert version 15.0 projects have been either archived (‘.sta’ file format) or exported (‘.zef’ file format) before updating to Control Expert 15.0, SP1. control Expert version 15.0, SP1 will not be able to open the saved project that is in the ‘ stu’ file format.
2. Do not attempt to resolve the issue by manually uninstalling Control Expert through deleting any folders or registry keys.
3. The correct method to uninstall is to use the Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs via the Control Panel (See figure 16.).
4. Control Expert installs the ‘IntegrityCheckHash.dll’ in multiple locations (See Figure 17). If an integrity check error occurs, the log file will show where to look for the faulted file.

Verification
To ensure that this procedure is performed correctly, restart Control Expert and verify that no Integrity Check error appears.
