Yes, if you downloaded Lumion from the official website (Act-3D).
⚠️ Be careful if you got it from a torrent or crack site — malware can disguise itself as .cache files. Always scan with Windows Defender or Malwarebytes.
Finding a lingering .cache file usually means the download manager encountered an issue. Here are the most likely culprits:
Lumion provides a lightweight stub installer (e.g., Lumion_2024_4_2_Downloader.exe). When you run it, the downloader creates a hidden cache folder (often in %temp%\Lumion\ or C:\ProgramData\Lumion\Downloads\).

However, there is an important security caveat: If you obtained the file from a peer-to-peer (P2P) site, unofficial forum, or torrent, any .cache file could theoretically be renamed malware. Always download Lumion exclusively from the official Lumion Customer Portal or the Lumion website.
