Hi @drkalhor,

Welcome to the forums and sorry you’re having trouble getting InVEST installed. The link from InVEST | Natural Capital Project works for me.

https://storage.googleapis.com/releases.naturalcapitalproject.org/invest/3.9.0/InVEST_3.9.0_x64_Setup.exe

Can you tell us what happens when you try to download the exe? What version of Windows are you using? What browser are you using?

Thanks, hopefully we can get it sorted out.

Doug

Hi @drkalhor ,

Thanks for that info. I’m going to ping @jdouglass on this thread as well.

Could you try downloading InVEST from here: https://github.com/natcap/invest/releases/download/3.9.0/InVEST_3.9.0_x64_Setup.exe

I’m wondering if a google service is being blocked.

Thanks,

Doug

Yeah, I was going to suggest the same thing!

@drkalhor , judging by your website’s domain extension (.ir), is there any chance that you’re trying to download InVEST from Iran? If so, access to google services is highly limited within the country (we host our downloads on Google Cloud), and downloading InVEST from the github link that @dcdenu4 provided (which is hosted on AWS) should work well. Keep in mind that you’ll need to also grab the sample data zipfile from the InVEST release page on github because the InVEST installer won’t be able to download data files for you since those are also hosted on google cloud.

Let us know how this goes!

HI @drkalhor,

Glad you were able to get it downloaded. When InVEST usually installs it will put the model executables in the Windows Start menu under InVEST 3.9.0 x64. If you don’t see them there they usually live in C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\InVEST 3.9.0 x64. Each model will have it’s own application.

Cheers,

Doug
