  I installed Discovery AIM after Workbench installed. Now everytime I double click .wbpj file, AIM starts but I want to start workbench as default.
  
  Is there setting that could solve this issue?
  
  thanks

  Hello jingwm
  
  This looks a bit strange. Are you sure the wbpj project which you are double clicking is Workbench project and not AIM project? Can you cross check with a few other Workbench projects and see if they are still opening AIM?
  
  One way to have all wbpj files open upon double click in Workbench is to right click on that file and select Open With - Choose another app and browse to the Workbench exe i.e. runwb2.exe and enable option "Always use this app to open .wbpj files"

    hello, Naresh Patre . Yes, I am sure the .wbpj file is workbench project, not AIM project. I also checked other workbench projects and they are still opening AIM.
    
    Naresh, I tried the way you mentioned " select Open with ......... Always use this app to open.wbpj files", it does not work .

    jingwm Can you try clearing temp data from %temp% folder and see if it helps?
    
    Also, do you have Discovery products and Workbench R19 installed in same folder?

  I face the same problem working with R19.2.
  
  I already tried deleting the %temp% folder with no success.
  
  Is there another solution known already?

    Stefan Lahres hi, Stefan, I just uninstalled discovery live. You can try to install it in separate folder with ANSYS R192.
