Hi Yu_Johanna_Cao,

Please note that PLECS must be installed either for the current user or for all users of the machine. An installation for all users requires administrator privileges.

Also, the installer executable cannot be run from the root directory of a drive. Please move it to a subdirectory before running it.

Detailed installation instructions are available here:
