Could not open ELF file ...

Hi to all,
I just downloaded Proteus Demo and tried to simulate 'Arduino using Weather Station Shield' and got two weird failures.

1. When trying to "Build Project", I received the VSM Studio Output "Detecting compiler Arduino AVR

Compiler not detected.
Firmware is already compiled."

I check if the compiler exists and, indeed:

Detecting compiler Arduino AVR (Proteus)
Compiler detection summary found:
Arduino AVR (Proteus): C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Demonstration\Tools\Arduino"

I try again, and the previous messages keep appearing.
I decide to Delete Project and Create Project and after several tries, finally, the project is compiled.

Compiled successfully.

2. So, I try to simulate the project and:

Fatal simulation error(s) encountered

Could not open ELF file 'C:\Users\XLDOCE\AppData\Local\Temp\VSM Studio\2b02075ffc764516ad8ac6ecefc4e97e\ATmega328P(U1)\Debug\Debug.elf'. [u1]
Failed to load ELF file 'C:\Users\XLDOCE\AppData\Local\Temp\VSM Studio\2b02075ffc764516ad8ac6ecefc4e97e\ATmega328P(U1)\Debug\Debug.elf' [U1]

but on U1 Properties, everything seems right:

{PROGRAM=C:\Users\XLDOCE\AppData\Local\Temp\VSM Studio\2b02075ffc764516ad8ac6ecefc4e97e\ATmega328P(U1)\Debug\Debug.elf}

I've tried other simpler samples and the same thing always happens.

Please, what am I doing wrong?
