It was happening for both. I have the free student version downloaded. I already tried to rename it but it didn't work. I ended up cleaning my entire windows (reset) and started clean and it works. I suspect that Ansys was picking up something from another program that uses an older version of dependencies. I downloaded Ansys first, then individually downloaded the other programs while testing every time to ensure Ansys worked fine.
