Further information. 

The error 80004005 or 0x80004005 relates to lack of permissions. 
 It appears that AnsysWBU.exe (Ansys Mechanical) is atempting to execute a Windows script object (Jscript or Cscript) and is being blocked.
 As I mentioned before, this occurs for two reasons:
 - Windows scripting libraries are not registered.
 - A Protection program / endpoint program is preventing AnsysWBU.exe from executing scripts.
