I do not understand, do you still have the issue?
Can you share your file? And also a screenshot of the error message where I can fully see the traceback of the error?
(Enlarge the error windows so that I can read everything)

We just found the issue.
It's strange that it happens only to Chinese users.
There was a problem with the formatting in the
SurfaceLoad.py python file.
Here's the updated file:
Unzip it, and copy it to
C:\Program Files\STKO\external_solvers\opensees\conditions\Loads\Generic, replacing the existing one.
The new version of STKO will have this issue fixed.
Side note:
In ex4, change the Constraint Handler from Penalty to Transformation
