installation error: Do not change the installation filename.

Post by kg.yamada »

I downloaded the VENSIMPLE setup file: VensimPLEx64Setup.exe.
I stopped anti-virus software during downloading and installation of the file to follow former FAQ.
At the registration step, the setup file displayed the error message "Error during installation: Do not change the installation filename.

The downloaded file name is VensinPLEx64Setup.exe .
My computer is
Intel Core i7 3630QM RAM 8.00GB 64bit operating system
OS WIndows10 home version 1903
Browser Google Chrome 83.0.4103.116

Are you running Windows 7? Windows 7 is no longer supported.

Rumor has it the Windows 8.1 SDK will provide the needed dll: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/w ... k-archive/
