Fluent 2019 R3 will not import case file when launching from the case file

  Hi all,
  
  I have just updated ANSYS to 2019 R3. First, Fluent did not show up under ANSYS apps, I had to dig into the directory to find the Fluent.Then, I launched it, it was all fine. Oddly, Fluent did not import the case when I clicked on the case file. Fluent was launched but the case was not imported. If I explicitly import the case -file>read>case, it's fine but a bit annoying.
  
  Any idea why this is happening?
  
  Thanks.

  you can use "C:Program FilesANSYS Incv195fluentntbinwin64fluent.exe"
  
  where did you click on case file? in starting window?
  
  can you please insert any images.

  Hi Keyur,
  
  Thanks for your reply. Yes, I used that directory to find fluent which I could launch with no issue whatsoever. However, when I start the fluent by clicking one of the previously saved case file (*.cas), it throws me some errors -unbound variable, and does not load the case file. I have to then go to file>read case file which I think is a bit annoying.
  
  Please see below for the console text, and attachments for the pics. (Sorry for posting separately, they did not go through in one post)
  
  Thanks

  Try with a file that doesn't have a space in the name and/or folder structure.

  Hi rwoolhou ,
  
  Just tried, still no luck. Same error and no case file is imported.
