We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi John,

Try the following methods:

Install any missing prerequisites

Right click on "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Ansys Student\v2xx\ProductConfig.exe"
Run as administrator select 'Install required prerequisites'


or

Repair on the C++ packages in windows apps

 
Run appwiz.cpl to open Programs and Features
Scroll down to the list of Microsoft C++ packages
Right click on each one and select change, then the repair option.

 
If any fail to repair, or if repairing doesn't resolve the problem, then you can reinstall them from the issue files here:-
\Disk1\prereq
and run all the *vcredist_x64.exe files
