Please try setting the variable ANSYS_SYSDIR with a value of winx64.n

[dslondon1]

no luck. Tried again downloading setup to program files x64 and running setup.exe as admin. No successn

[dslondon1]

what would you like me to insert and where?n

[ANSYS_MMadore]

In your Windows environment variables, create a new variable named ANSYS_SYSDIR with a value of winx64. You shouldn't be adding it to any files or anything else. What file is that that you show in your screenshot, you shouldn't be editing any of the ANSYS files.n

Also, what application or shortcut are you trying to launch when you are encountering the error that prompted this post?n
