      Ansys nCode installer stops because it detects another instance of the same Ansys nCode version that was previously uninstalled. The message shown in the pop up are available in the attached screenshots. This can happen with a failed install on some kind where InstallAnywhere software used to install nCode doesn’t work correctly. See the attached documentation for the solution.
