Hello,
Welcome to the Navigraph Forum.
It seems there are installation issues based on the error details. Please perform a clean installation by following these steps.
1. **Uninstall** Navigraph Simlink via the Windows Control Panel.
2. **Manually delete** the installation folder: `C:\Program Files\Navigraph\Simlink` (if it still exists).
3. **Clear AppData:** Press `Win + R`, type `%appdata%`, and hit Enter. Look for a folder named `Navigraph` and delete the `Simlink` folder inside it.
4. **Restart** your computer.
5. **Download** a fresh installer from the official [Navigraph website](https://navigraph.com/downloads) and install it again.
If you still face the issue, then please **Install/Repair Visual C++ Redistributables** from `Windows Settings -> Apps`.
Please feel free to inform us if you still face the issue.
Thank you!
**Best Regards,**
**Vishal Ahir**
