Prediction tools - issues with running

I am getting an error message each time I try to run the predictive tool on weekly challenge 124, specifically:

"This workflow references macros (Predictive Tools\NetworkViz.yxmc…. Saving this workflow will permanents disable these tools"

Has anyone else encountered this and how was it resolved?

Thanks!

NetworkViz.yxmc is part of the Alteryx predictive tools package (the display name of the tool is "Network Analysis.") Have you installed the R tools? You can check by looking at the bottom of the Options menu. If there's an option called "Download Predictive Tools," then they aren't installed. If you need this workflow to work, you'll need to select that option and install the tools or you can go to the license site (https://licenses.alteryx.com) go to the Designer installers and download the RInstaller for your release.

If the Predictive tools are installed and you're still getting this error, then we need to do a bit of troubleshooting because the path for the tool on your machine isn't matching the one in the workflow. I could walk you through this, but there is a weekly challenge that covers this topic and would be worth reviewing:

EDIT: Simplified the method to check if you've installed Predictive.

I had to install the Tools; thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I think you could help me with my problem.

I try to run linear regression in my workflow and it tells me "Linear Regression (3) Tool #4: The R version "3.6.3" is not installed on this system."

The issue is that I did install the predictive tools package, the admin version which is the same as my designer. I contacted support and they told me to do a clean uninstall which I did and the problem has persisted.

So in my head what you're suggesting is the only thing that makes sense.

I appreciate your time
