Simio Trial Edition Installation Notes

Simio provides separate installations for Simio 64-bit and 32-bit. To use both bit types of Simio,
each installer will need to be used.

The installation folders follow this format:

Table 1: Download Folder Names


Download Folder Name Description
Simio-[version number].zip The 64-bit type of the specified Simio version.
Simio-x86-[version number].zip The 32-bit type of the specified Simio version.

Once the Simio installation folder is downloaded on the destination machine, unzip the contents
by using Windows (see Microsoft support1 page “Zip and unzip files” for more information) or a
third-party application of your choice.

It is recommended to use setup.exe. Launching this file and following the prompts will install
Simio and any of the lacking necessary components for Simio on the machine.

It will be important to monitor the installation process to provide administrative approval for a
successful installation.

Simio will be installed at the following locations, depending on the bit type.

Table 2: Installation Locations


Download Folder Name Directory
Simio-[version number].zip C:\Program Files\Simio LLC\Simio
Simio-x86-[version number].zip C:\Program Files (x86)\Simio LLC\Simio

In these locations, you will find the appropriate resources for running the Simio desktop
application. In addition, you will find educational resources like SimBits, Examples, Simio
Release Notes, and Simio Compatibility Notes, all of which are also accessible from the Support
ribbon in the Simio software.

Using 64-Bit and 32-Bit


The 64- and 32-bit types of Simio can exist on the same machine concurrently.

Troubleshooting
If you have a problem installing Simio, try the following.
• Delete the downloaded installation files and re-download the installation files (a slow
internet connection may corrupt the download).
• Ensure that you unzip the installation files before using them.
• Restart the machine.
• Check Windows Update (see Microsoft support1 page “Update Windows” for more
information), install updates at your discretion, and restart the machine.

Advanced and Manual Installation
If you have trouble installing Simio, the following instructions may provide relief. Following these
instructions should be considered after the using setup.exe and/or SimioInstall.msi did not
result in a successful installation.

Manual Installation
Step 1\ Install Visual C++ Runtime
Simio uses the Visual C++ 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 Runtime. The redistributable
installer should begin with the name vc_redist. Install the latest version.2

Step 2\ Install .NET 4.8


Simio requires the .NET Framework Version 4.8 (or later). If the framework is not already
installed on your computer and you want to perform a manual install, you can download
it the Runtime installer from the .NET Framework Downloads page.3

You can download the Runtime installer via a standalone or web Installer. The
standalone version is a larger download, while the web version requires an internet
connection during installation. It may also be installed by doing a Windows Update
depending the machine configuration.

Step 3\ Install Simio


If you have not run setup.exe, do so now.
