Hello, Thank you for providing the details regarding the issue. Based on the error message, it appears that Simlink is set to install to a path that does not exist. Please ensure that you are not attempting to install it on an external or network drive, and run the Simlink installer with administrative rights. If you continue to experience the issue, please let us know. Thank you! **Best Regards,** **Vishal Ahir** **Navigraph** ---

Apologies for the delay in responding, a lot of us are away for the Easter weekend. Could you send a screenshot of the directory you are attempting to install Simlink to, please? If you are trying to install Simlink on an external drive, this may prove troublesome if that drive becomes unavailable.
