Hi there
I installed FreeCAD first. Since installing blueCFD from FreeCAD menu did not seem to work, did it manually (outside the usual programs folder as recommended), GMSH also. Then used menu for cfMesh and HiSA, they download properly, but does not compile sucessfully. The dependency checker does not return anything in 15 min.
Following is the output of the report view window.
Thanx.

Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce any of these problems on my Windows 10 system, so I can't be much help. It looks like it might still be a permission problem. Perhaps try running FreeCAD as Administrator and/or installing blueCFD in your user folder instead of root of C:

To troubleshoot you could open the blueCFD core terminal from the start menu and enter the following commands:
mkdir -p "$WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR"
cd "$WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR"
rm -r cfmesh-cfdof
unzip -o "/c/Users/ct/AppData/Local/Temp/tmp_f73mfcq"
(except for the last one, replace the temporary file name with the path to the cfMesh .zip file that you downloaded manually from https://sourceforge.net/projects/cfmesh ... p/download and saved in your computer, e.g. if you save it in your Downloads directory, change this line to
unzip -o "/c/Users/ct/Downloads/cfmesh-cfdof.zip"

See if any of these commands give an error (one of them should) and this would narrow down the problem. It would be appreciated if you could report your progress for others.

Thanks

Just don't uncheck anything while installing.
Although called "additional tasks", they seem to be mandatory. (all?)
Restart after installing blueCFD, and cfMesh and HiSA will installable also then, even with <finish install with error 2> in my case.
You coders do incredible work and provide us users thrilling opportunities!

Dear collegues,

I am trying to install CDF using FreeCAD 0.19 Preferences panel. The problem related to the cfMesh installation.

I see following message in the report window:

I couldn't choose any option due to the installation window.

Do you have any suggect?

Thank you in advance.
