“File not found: uninst_data.dat”

      Hello,


      As you can see , I have this error when I try to dowload the student version of Ansys . (19.2) 


      I tried to reinstall the software many times but nothing to do ..


      This happens only on my computer ( MSI GL62M 7REX - Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti ) so I tried to download the whole file on an other computer and to transfer it to this one but it doesn't work ..


      I need this software for one of my courses so I don't know what to do .. If someone has an idea ?

      Hello Enzo,


       


      Did you ensure that you extracted the zip file prior to trying to install?  Could you provide the contents of this file? If it shows a size of 0kb, try deleting it and then run your install again.


      %APPDATA%Ansysv192ProdConfiguninstall_data.data file?


       


      Thank you,
      Matt

      Hello Matt,


      Thank you for your answer .


      Yes I have extracted it before the installation . ( The software works , I can mesh on fluent but as soon as  I try to launch the solver it crashes ) .


      The problem is that , I have no file named "uninst_data.dat" or "uninstall_data.data" .

      Hello,


      After reinstalling , this is my file :

      Do you see any error when trying to solve? Can you share screenshots?  It appears the install completed if you have gotten through the installation process, and the uninst_data.dat message is not relevant.


       


      What files exist in C:ProgrammesAnsys Inc and C:ProgrammesAnsys IncANSYS Student?


       


      Thank you,

      Finally I reinstalled it from the beginning and now it works .


      The same message appears during the installation but now I can launch the solver without any problem .


      Thank you for your help .


      Have a nice day!

      Matt I do not see the folder you sau=id to try and delete. When I try to download I get the "critical error" box but it doesn't come up with an error it just stays white. Please let me know

      buchs29, yours is a different issue.


      Please create a new thread and search some past threads for info/resolution on this issue. There have been quite a few of them this past month.

The thing is that the program is not working because at the end of the installation it shows that there was a fatal error. Eventhough, the folder has been created and but I cant find the program.n n
