    When running the optimization model LEAP-NEMO, it shows that the startup fails, and the reinstallation does not work. How can I fix this problem?

    2022/5/17 17:50:03: Running julia with command: "using NemoMod, JuMP, Cbc; NemoMod.calculatescenario("""D:\\Program Files\\LEAP\\_Settings\\_Work\\0\\NEMO_6.sqlite"""; jumpmodel=Model(Cbc.Optimizer), varstosave = """vproductionbytechnology, vnewcapacity, vusebytechnology, vproductionbytechnologyannual, vusebytechnologyannual""", calcyears=[2020,2025,2030,2035,2040,2045,2050,2055,2060] , quiet = false )"

    Although this is not sufficient information to identify the source of the problem, we notice that you seem to have set your LEAP working directory to be below the Program Files\LEAP folder.

    This is not a normal setup and almost certainly will not work since Windows normally requires administrative rights to write to such folders.

    Without knowing more, we suggest you reinstall LEAP and use the standard LEAP working directory locations (normally located under the Documents\LEAP Areas folder).

    Hi, Charlie!

    I'm actually having a similar issue right now.

    I'm trying to use LEAP-NEMO on the default Optimization Exercise, with NEMO(Cbc), however I'm getting the same Error while running the calculations.

    I saw this post and actually had LEAP installed in Program Files/LEAP, but reinstalled it as you indicated below Documents/LEAP Areas.

    I would really appreciate if you could give me some suggestions on how to solve this issue, and if you could indicate me any additional information you could need to solve it, please don't hesitate on asking.

    Thank you in advance for support.

    Regards,
    Guillermo GC

    Hi Guillermo,

    That error message is a low level message and simply indicates that an error occurred when LEAP attempted to open a command window to run Julia and NEMO. This could be due to a number of reasons, perhaps including that you do not have sufficient access rights to open such a window or that Julia is not running correctly, perhaps due to it not being properly installed.

    Could you please share with me the contents of the Help: About screen in LEAP? That might give me a bit more information about your system that could give some clues. If possible, please also send me a copy of the LEAP.LOG file. This is normally located in the folder Documents\LEAP Areas\_Settings folder.

    Thanks!

    Charlie

    Thanks for this Guillermo. I think we've found the problem. The interface between LEAP and NEMO was not working properly due to the accented character in your name. In general, LEAP and NEMO both work OK with accented characters and with different regional number formats, but this rather particular issue tripped LEAP up!

    Anyway, I've fixed the problem now. Just doing some final testing on it, but should be able to post a new version of LEAP either later today or over the weekend. Please look for LEAP v2020.1.103 to include that. You won't need to update NEMO.

    Thanks for helping us identify and fix this and sorry for the problems!

    Charlie,

    I already downloaded this new version and apparently the error is gone! Now I could run the Optimization Excercise without any trouble!

    Thank you very much for your quick assistance!

    Best,
