Hi All

My system information is as follows:

Does it work if you run FreeCAD as administrator?

Hey Perky

I ran it as an administrator too. Still not working. I'm getting the following output.

That module has not been developed for such a long time now (almost 3 years) that it's possible that the newer versions of Cura Engine are no longer compatible with it.

I still use it, it's still Working.
Cura Change, but CuraEngine didn't change a lot since 3 years.
