&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users might often face an error message which says &amp;ldquo;Runtime error 52; bad file name or number&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Method&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This error might occur if we accidentally delete the &amp;ldquo;Hevacomp projects&amp;rdquo; folder while attempting a clean uninstallation. The folder is located at a default location in the C drive of the machine. See below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x360/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/1263.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We would suggest not to delete any default project folders while performing an uninstallation, as the software looks to locate Hevacomp projects at the default folder.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To get rid of this error,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Go to C drive&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Create a new folder called &amp;ldquo;Hevacomp projects&amp;rdquo; inside the C drive&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Start the software&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You would see that a few default cache files are automatically created (see below) as you open the software.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/520x400/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/0250.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After this, the software should be up and running. If not, then you might have saved any other folder as a default location for saving project data. In that case, you would require to perform similar steps in that location.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To know the project data location, please refer to the WIKI article&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/products/building/performance/w/building_performance__wiki/15783/installation-locations"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td&gt;Runtime error&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users might often face an error message which says &amp;ldquo;Runtime error 52; bad file name or number&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Method&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This error might occur if we accidentally delete the &amp;ldquo;Hevacomp projects&amp;rdquo; folder while attempting a clean uninstallation. The folder is located at a default location in the C drive of the machine. See below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/500x360/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/1263.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We would suggest not to delete any default project folders while performing an uninstallation, as the software looks to locate Hevacomp projects at the default folder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To get rid of this error,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Go to C drive&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Create a new folder called &amp;ldquo;Hevacomp projects&amp;rdquo; inside the C drive&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Start the software&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You would see that a few default cache files are automatically created (see below) as you open the software.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/520x400/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-17/0250.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After this, the software should be up and running. If not, then you might have saved any other folder as a default location for saving project data. In that case, please you would require to perform similar steps in that location.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To know the project data location, please refer to the WIKI article&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/products/building/performance/w/building_performance__wiki/15783/installation-locations"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
