Hi there. I just installed Graphviz on Windows 10 64 bit following the post new-simplified-installation-procedure-on-windows and it seemed to install ok but when I tried to run neato I found that the neato executable was missing. Is there somewhere where I can get this executable for 64 bit Windows.  
Thanks  
Frank

Yes, this is a known issue:

> **[The Windows 'CMake' installer does not install neato, gvpr, fdp and others...](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/issues/1753)**

> Steps to reproduce Install Graphviz using the CMake installer, e.g. by following these instructions

You have two options:

1. Use `dot -Kneato`. It’s exactly the same thing as running `neato` directly.
2. Install the 32-bit MSBuild version from [https://www2.graphviz.org/Packages/stable/windows/10/msbuild/Release/Win32/](https://www2.graphviz.org/Packages/stable/windows/10/msbuild/Release/Win32/)
