incredible difficulty in installing 'scde' on R3.4.3 and R3.5.1 about scde HOT 2 OPEN

Is there a workflow that guarantees success of installation and running, for R3.4.3?

I installed (successfully) the developer's version (1.99.4) of scde, and still encountered the same errors in the running:

Hi Tanpuekai,
Did you manage to solve the problem?
I am facing the same problem but so far I could not solve it in R 3.5.1

Looking forward to hearing from you
Best
