Good day. I'm having difficulty completing the installation process of the simmechanics link addon. I've followed the directions: downloaded smlink.r2010a.win32.zip because i use a 32 bit windows, downloaded the install_addon m-file and created an m-file for it, made sure the two files were in the current folder, and ran the install_addon command. Below is the response i got:

EDU>> install_addon('smlink.r2010a.win32.zip')
