SW6 indicates that the installation path of this software was not found; how to resolve this?

I installed SW6-2024, and whenever I try to launch the software for stand-alone use or on a workstation, I get the message “The installation path of this software was not found; please install it correctly before running it.” The system is Win11, and the software is installed on drive D; even attempting to install it as an administrator did not work

Running as an administrator should resolve the issue

In Windows, running a program as an administrator can resolve permission issues (such as installing software or modifying system files). Here are the specific steps and precautions: --- ### **Method 1: Run the program as an administrator directly** 1. **Right-click on the program/shortcut** – locate the icon of the program you want to run (a `.exe` file or shortcut), and **right-click** on it. 2. **Select “Run as administrator”** In the pop-up menu, choose **“Run as administrator”**. 3. **Confirm the UAC popup** If a User Account Control (UAC) prompt appears, click **“Yes”** to grant permission. --- ### **Method 2: Set the program to run as an administrator at all times** 1. Right-click on the program shortcut → select **“Properties”**. 2. Switch to the **“Compatibility”** tab. 3. Check **“Run this program as an administrator”** → click **“OK”** to save. (This setting applies only to the current shortcut) --- ### **Method 3: Quickly obtain administrator privileges via taskbar search** - Enter the program name in the taskbar search box (such as `cmd` or `PowerShell`). - Right-click on the search results → select **“Run as administrator”**. --- ### **Method 4: Use shortcut keys to elevate permissions** 1. Select the program icon. 2. Press the **`Ctrl + Shift + Enter`** key combination to run it as an administrator directly. --- ### **If the problem still persists** - **check program compatibility**: Right-click on the program → Properties → Compatibility → Try running in compatibility mode. - **Turn off antivirus/ firewall**: Temporarily disable third-party security software to prevent accidental blocking. - **Run system scan**: Open the Administrator Command Prompt and enter `sfc /scannow` to check the integrity of system files. - **Check user account permissions**: Ensure your account is part of the **Administrators group** (Control Panel → User Accounts → Account Types). - **Manually obtain file permissions**: If an “Access denied” message appears, right-click on the target file/folder → Properties → Security → Edit Permissions, and add the current user with full control rights. --- ### **Precautions** - Be cautious when running the program as an administrator to avoid system instability caused by accidental actions. - Some older programs may require additional settings for compatibility mode (Windows 7/8, etc.). If there are still issues, please provide the specific error message or the scenario in which it occurred, and I will help you further! 😊

When which module is opened and this message appears, right-click on that module, go to Properties –> Compatibility, check the Compatible mode (Windows XP) option as well as the Run as administrator option. After clicking OK, open the module again; that’s it. oemcr007 Micro Cooperation Contact
