open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Thanks again for replying. But whenever I am installing, the files are automatically being extracted to Program Files.

Can you please tell me what should I do to avoid this?

I'm really sorry for asking a doubt again.

I've attached a screenshot of the moment when you need to change the access path.

Hi,
You shouldn't install TELAMC in program file. If you use the automatic installer, you have to change the folder proposed for thy installation.
Try to fix this point

Thanks a lot Laurie. It is working perfectly now. Thanks a lot everyone for helping me out.

This is something that I wish would be fixed in future versions... either allow whitespace in paths, or change the default path to C:\opentelemac instead of C:\Program Files. Or even add a warning in this part of the installer that whitespace is not allowed.

I sense that the forum moderation is tired of this question being asked, but instead of blaming the users for not knowing this bug that is due to outdated behaviour (modern apps should be able to handle whitespace gracefully), it would be more useful for all involved to patch this... that said, I don't know how difficult it is to implement, I've never worked with programming or installing TELEMAC on Windows, so who am I to judge

Kindly,

This issue will be fixed in the next version by preventing installation in a path containing spaces. This new installer has unfortunately been delayed, so I can't say when it will be available.

Although I agree with you André that it would be better to fix the problem by allowing paths containing spaces, especially in 2024. The problem is that TELEMAC main developers mostly use it on Linux, where we generally don't create folders containing spaces, even if it is allowed. If someone was willing to debug this problem directly on Windows, the information that it only occurs when using MPI might be useful.

Hi,

I also encounter the same error, could you please give me any suggestions to solve it. Thanks.
