Installed CODESYS v3.5 SP15 Patch 5, but Weintek Labs is not an option in software

I work for a Weintek distributor and currently have different versions of Codesys installed to work with the different manufacturers products. I have an application where I would like to use the Weintek cMT-FHDX-820 with the optional Codesys license. Since different manufacturers have recommended versions of Codesys (compatible with their products), I navigated to the Weintek Forums to find the recommended Codesys version that is compatible with Weintek. Here is a link to this forum site: https://forum.weintekusa.com/t/codesys-development-system/626. According to this site, Weintek recommends the use of Codesys v3.5 SP15 Patch + (64-bit) to work with the Weintek products. I downloaded and installed this version of Codesys and then rebooted my PC. After rebooting, I launched this specific version of Codesys and started a new “Standard Project” and provided a project name. The following pop-up asks for the type of project (PLC_PRG in) and I selected Ladder Logic Diagram (LD). This pop-up also has a pull-down selection for the device. According to the video tutorial for adding an iR-ETN module (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdaNcXdoO8E&list=PLfEh1XBOvQLaaCr60ghTh0ST0HFv_5cD8&index=1, I should see a selection called "Weintek Built-in CODESYS (Weintek Labs, Inc). Please reference the video at the 30 second time stamp to see this pop-up. Unfortunately, I do not see Weintek Labs listed in this pull-down selection; however, I do see a number of the other manufacturers products that we work with. Can you please provide guidance on how I can select Weintek Built-in CODESYS (Weintek Labs, Inc.) from this Device pull-down selection. Thank you!

I was able to resolve this issue by adding the Weintek Labs Codesys package: https://forum.weintekusa.com/t/cmt-codesys-package-pc/97. Thank you!
