Hi,

I’m very sorry for that.

Can you give me a little bit more details such that I can investigate.
for example can you give me
1) the full path of your MG5 v2.3.3 directory
2) the full path from which you call the mg5_aMC executable
3) the full path of the directory which was removed

Cheers,

Olivier
