Welcome to the forum, Bill.

Your system is certainly not out of date!

Was this BIMx installer a part of an overall ARCHICAD installation (what version?) or was it stand-alone?

Have you tried downloading afresh?

Thanks for the reply... I have tried downloading and installing again several times with no luck.
I downloaded from this link on the Graphisoft web site...

Just tried it again - no success!!!

Thanks again for your help.

Hello Bill,

I have seen this error message before, but every time the solution was something different... 😕
These are the things definitely worth trying:

Make sure nothing else is running while you install. Other processes running in the background (especially anti-virus softwares) can interrupt the installation.
Check out the suggestions in this other Topic about a similar issue.
There's also a Help Center Article explaining one of the possible causes.

Let me know if any of the suggestions worked.

Regards,
