Hi, While I am trying to open workbench project file directly, I am framework error caught and am not able to open wbpj. file. If I open 2023R2 workbench and through open file option I am able to open the project file. can anyone having the same issue please share the solution. Several time (more than 6 times) I reinstalled 2023R2, but error still continue. Any help or information to overcome this error will be appreciated. My computer is recently updated to Windows 11 version 24H2

Close all Ansys programs.
Then, rename:
%APPDATA%\Ansys\v232

to:
%APPDATA\Ansys\v232.old

Now try to run.

Hi George

I tried and changed to %APPDATA\Ansys\v232.old, still continue with the same error

Hello,

I want to suggest a workaround which you can try - Within workbecnh, first save this project with a different (simpler) file name at a different location; eg. D:\example\sample.wbpj. Close workbench app.

Delete obsolete ansys appdata folders - %APPDATA\Ansys\v2xx only where 2xx are the versions not currently installed on the machine.

Check associativity of wbpj file after right clicking on any wbpj file > properties and set the required version as needed.

Then try to open the file externally.

Hi Akshay

Thanks for the reply, I tried every possible solution available on ANSYS and even at one point ANSYS also stop responding. Please let me know anyother possible option I can explore to get rid of this error.

Check that the Prerequisites are installed.  Since it was an OS upgrade,it might be that reinstalling them will fix the issues. particularly .net

Hi George, I check the prerequisites and they were installed, but as you said to reinstalling, I did reinstalling prerequisites and still it's showing the the same Framework Error Caught while opening the .wbpj file

When you tried all the solutions, did you run them as right-click->run as administrator

[vjoshi]

Yes, run as administrator

Im wondering if the Upgrade to windows 11 has anything to do with it?
If you right-click on a project and choose "Properties"
What does that look like?
Opens with?
