At the bottom of the description panel for each simulation, it gives the installed location for the sim. Is the installed location the same for each of the instances that the sim appears?

Each sim name is physically different so they may appear in the Loader. Why two versions?
What does File Explorer show?
Are these files in the Cloud?

By default, NTFS is used as case-insensitive on Windows, so those pairs of references would refer to the same file.

I say "by default" because I'm almost sure there's a little-known way to make it case-sensitive, likely for POSIX compatibility.

Barry,

I realise they are differentiated by case. I did not do this myself, although they are in Google Drive. If this is an issue specifically for me, I am happy to accept this. I just thought it may be a wider issue.

Is it possible that you have created your problem by your selections in the Loader's Folder Options?
