    I tried installing the app through chocolatey package manager as discussed here:

    choco install simulide
    

    However I get this error message:

    This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows". Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    another issue has been placed here.

    There is a file in

    C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\simulide\tools\SimulIDE_0.3.10_SR1-Win32\bin
    

    which is ok, except when I try to assign the .simu file extension causing the same problem as above! 🤔

    Hi,
    I don't know how chocolatey works, but the Qt platform plugin "windows" is there, in:
    SimulIDE_xxx/bin/plugins/platforms

    But there are some considerations running simulide, for example in order to find those plugins, you must run the executable from the bin folder.

    What do you mean by assigning the .simu file?
    Edited: if you mean opening simulide from a .simu file, it is not possible by now, but i will add that capability.
