Hi Mario,

The error message in the attached file looks like the problem of writing 
permission in the .unidata folder on your computer. I tested IDV 5.7  and 5.7u1 
in my home office to submit
Support Form and not seeing any problem.

I am wondering if there are some issues with your installation. Could you try 
to load one or two bundles under the Bundle drop-down menu?

By the way, I am also available to provide a few ZOOM classes for the IDV 
tutorial if you interest.
