If you get error in the SimaLoader

File not found error occurred: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'very-long-path-to-the-file-what-should-be-downloaded'. In the case of a download please make sure that Windows target file path length is < 260 characters or adjust Windows max path length.


Solution: 

edit registry setting:

  • windows > run > regedit
  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem] "LongPathsEnabled"=dword:00000001

2024-01-15: in SImA v1.3, data are downloaded zipped, so you shouldn't have that problem.
