Dear Chris,
thank you very much, your version of the runmlwin.ado seems to fix it. After it worked again, I accidentally updated the runmlwin.ado with the ssc-version and the same error occurred.

Hi,
since updating MacOS, I cannot run mlnscript script / runmlwin.ado anymore, I get the ".. invalid name" error in Stata. I just downloaded the latest version of the mlnscript, the error remains. Thanks very much for any advice here!

Dear Chris,

many thanks for your quick response! Now, I specified the path within the runmlwin command as follows "mlwinpath(/mlwin/mlwin/i386/mlwin.sh)". When I run this, Stata responds: "The model did not run properly in MLwiN. You most likely clicked the 'Abort Macro'
