Date format error

[schoeller]

Dear all,

thanks for making this piece of software available. Maybe one day it'll make it open source.
After having opened Site_Drainage_Model.inp from SWMM standard examples and pressing Run, the simulation fails with the subsequent message

  EPA STORM WATER MANAGEMENT MODEL - VERSION 5.2 (Build 5.2.0)

When selecting Settings->Options->Time the dialog shows as follows, but still does not allow for valid time format input.

I am running Win10 with the following date settings

Best regards

@schoeller Thank you for raising the issue. This problem has been fixed in version 4.0.4. Since 4.0.0, StormDesk is promoted as "StormDesk Educational", which requires registration and activation in order to be used, and a user application submission is also required.
