Do you mean that under the main-window Model menu the "Time
series" entry is inactive/greyed-out? That happens if the
dataset you have loaded is not recognized as time-series,
which can be fixed under /Data/Dataset structure.

If you mean that the Model menu doesn't have a "Time series"
entry at all, or that the Time series menu is accessible but
doesn't have a VECM entry, then sorry but I have no idea
what's wrong; some weird breakage must have occurred in the
installation.
