Each time the installer reaches the &ldquo;Initializing installation of prerequisites&rdquo; stage, it opens an error window labeled &ldquo;Critical Error&rdquo; while still at 0%. This error window becomes unresponsive, forcing me to close the installer. As a result, the installation process doesn&rsquo;t progress.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have tried repeating the process numerous times, but the same issue occurs each time. I attempted to run the installer on a lower version of Windows, and it somehow bypassed this step, reaching about 90% of the installation. However, the same &ldquo;Critical Error&rdquo; window appeared again, causing it to become unresponsive.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Could anyone please help me with this issue? I am in urgent need of assistance.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have attached screenshots of both instances for reference, and anticipate help soonest. thank you!&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/08-11-2024-1731059602-mceclip0.png\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/08-11-2024-1731059609-mceclip1.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-393285","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-install-critical-error-1","topic-tag-install-error"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["454927","68381","595453","199","621023"],"_bbp_author_ip":["105.113.18.224"],"_btv_view_count":["4535"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["393285"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27784"],"_bbp_engagement":["68381","454927","595453","199","621023"],"_bbp_voice_count":["5"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["446496"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["446496"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-11-17 11:57:16"],"_bbp_likes_count":["1"],"_bbp_status":["publish"]},"test":"hkareem585stu-ui-edu-ng"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/393285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/393285\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
