My University PC has 2 versions installed, i.e. version 19.1 and 2020R2. When I save and try to open my .wbpz file, I am getting just the 19.1 option to open the file and also tried changing the option but couldn't do it. I have done the work in 2020 version, and now I cannot open the file. Can anyone help me out?

Try following.

It is wbpz file. Please open 2020R2. Then go to File - Open and then open it.

What if we are not getting the options. I have 2 versions of Ansys, 2020 R2 and 2022 R2. But only once appears.

Use Start>Ansys2022R2>Workbench, once it loads, File>Open or File>Restore Archive. The menus changed a couple of versions back and I can't remember when that was.

Thats true it opens in that way. I'm aware of that.

But the problem is when i want to open an Archive, what will happen is 1st it will save the file then it will open. I need a solution which will help me add differnt version in the "open with" options. Then what i can do is directly click on it and open the project in the version of my choosing.

As i said earlier i have 2020 R2 and 2022 R2. But getting only one option in "open with".

Does "more Apps" find the other version? As an aside, I never open any Ansys files by double clicking, I always launch from Start or the tool bar. 

[rahul.kalgutkar]

No. It doesn't show in "more Apps". Tried to go trough "look for other app on this PC" in the installled path "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v202\Framework\bin\Win64\RunWB2.exe", but when i try to open, it opens in 22.

If you run the above exe directly what opens? There are file association settings in Windows that do "stuff", so you may find something is messed up with those.
