That is strange, but we will sort that out. Do you get the same error, when you run "Strategy Workbench" and calculate a strategy and display it in the lower right output area? Like this:

The problem
I don't know, whether you have some technical understanding of Windows, but:
The root cause of the problem is the Browser setting of the Internet Explorer engine, which applications, when displaying web pages from inside an app. There is a registry setting, which defines how the engine must behave. It looks like this:
For all applications of "Simulator Controller" this value must be set to 9999 or 11001. I try to insert the value into the registry, when my applications start, but maybe there is something on your machine which prevents this, for example an AV application. Maybe you can check this.

I'll check it and I'll share results
EDIT: It was that! I didn't have the entry in the registry so I created it and it works now

Still strange. Normally, the application creates this entry itself. There must be something on your PC, which prevents that. Anyway, if you have the same problem with the other apps, for example "Strategy Workbench", the procedure is the same...
The 2nd anniversary release of my software brings a great new feature to the Setup Advisor. The tool can now evaluate the telemetry data live and show you problems with your setup, but possibly also with your driving style while you are on the track. In the end, entries can be generated from these events in the "Setup Advisor" after selection, from which the tool can then automatically generate an adapted setup. But what am I talking about here, just watch the video.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that. I have added the information to the documentation.
Okay, it looks like you did not finish the setup process. Start "Simulator Setup" and make sure, that your simulators are detected. Go to the last page and create a configuration. If that does not work, contact me on Discord.I wanted to test setup analyzer and it gives me this error and doesn't register anything

I did this before
but then did it second time and seems like error is gone so I needed to do something incorrectly first time
but I'm not sure if it register the thing since I had no time to boot the game to confirm
but should be fine since error is not present anymore
Good to hear, but if you still have problems contact me on Discord and we will arrange for video chat.

Just stuck here:

then is again stuck to the image before

This can sometimes happen due to Windows security restrictions. One possible workaround is to lower the UAC, or you can try to elevate your user to an Administrator.
If nothing works, download the software manually using the latest version link on the GitHub page and then run "Simulator Setup" from the Binaries folder as Administrator before using anything else from the software package.
If this does not work either, contact me on Discord and I will install it manually on your PC using Team Viewer...

I work in IT so I know the usual tricks, UAC is as low as can be from day 1 in this windows installation, and my user is admin.
I downloaded this "Simulator Controller 4.4.5.0-release.zip" from github yesterday.
Today I'll try again.
Tnx.
The command, that is run at this point is simply this PowerShell command:
Get-ChildItem -Path '.' -Recurse | Unblock-File

Running "Simulator Setup.exe" as administrator.
I use powershell to run python and jupyterlab but I don't know what this "Get-ChildItem -Path '.' -Recurse | Unblock-File" do sorry
Hi Paolo,
the problem with software downloaded from the Web is, that Windows sometimes block their execution for security reasons. You can ses this by opening the property page of an Exe or an DLL file. The Powershell command tries to remove this block, but it must run with Admin privileges. For whatever reason, this seems not to work in your environment. There are ways around it, but they are very complex and nothing which can be described shortly here. Can we arrange for a Team Viewer sesssion?
In the release package of today (4.5.6), I changed the behaviour so that any errors while unblocking will be ignored. This might lead to other problems later on, but you may continue with the initial installation at least. If that succeeds, you may unblock all files (EXE, DLL) in the [Install]\Binaries folder manually using the property page. Maybe this works.

- Can you tell wich .exe and .dll is trying to unblock?
- Did the software try to install something in rf2 folder?
- Is there a way to do a manual installation?
- In which folder I should run "Get-ChildItem -Path '.' -Recurse | Unblock-File" from powershell?
Tnx

1. The files in question all reside in the Binaries folder.
2. No, the installation of the RF2 shared memory plugin must be done by you. The plugin is provided in the Utilities folder. When you are using "Simulator Setup" to do the initial configuration, there will be a step which points you to the right location.
3. Yes, absolutely. There is a short article in the FAQ section in our Discord how to do that.
4. The unblock command should be run in the Binaries folder.
Recommendation:
1. Do a manual installation as described in the Discord:
https://discord.com/channels/852795995049558016/853855177009528852/920907009069559888

2. Unblock the files in Binaries manually using the above Powershell command.
.
3. Then run "Simulator Setup" from the Binaries folder and skip the unblocking step, since it has already been done.
And, because you are going "low-level", read the stuff in the Wiki about Installation & Configuration.

Ok I already have RF2 shared memory plugin because I use SimHub, I'll test the other advice in the next days.
tnx
