Hi [name removed], I have managed to install v8p4 on Windows somehow in the beginning of the year, but want to start using the python API. For this, I wanted to use the automatic installer. For some reason, I cannot download the automatic installer anymore on this site: [https://www.opentelemac.org/index.php/binaries](https://www.opentelemac.org/index.php/binaries), but a colleague still had the file. The installation went smoothly, but I get errors when running simulations that run smoothly on my “manual” v8p4 installation. In parallel mode I first get System error from partel.exe saying that libmedfwrap.dll cannot be found. After I press ok, the prompt gives the attached error (error parallel). Running on only one core, I get a weird Fortran compilation error (error\_1core). Does anyone know, how I can fix these problems? Do I need to deinstall my “manual” v8p4 installation first? Thanks for your help!

Hello, Could you provide the files you used to run TELEMAC (case, mesh and boundary conditions file if any)? ---

I had the same problem when installing telemac using wintel, and I resolved it by putting the command “call %EXTERNAL%\python\Scripts\activate.bat” in “config\pysource.gnu.bat” after setting all vartiables (see pysource file attached), the problem is that after calling the “activate.bat” file, it stops adding variables to path. I hope this solves the problem. ---

Hi [name removed], thanks for your response. I get the same error running any case, e.g. the telemac examples, therefore I think it has something to do with the different versions of TELEMAC. I might just wait for version v8p5 though… [name removed] ---

Hello, I have been facing a similar problem. Can you please share your solution files? Did you make any modifications to systel.cfg file available at wintel repo? Thanking you, Ateeq
