Hello,

This is the first time I installed the product ANSYS Student 19.2, and I have some problems make me crazy!

I follow the same step in this video, but I still can't find my Workbench to start my ANSYS.  ===>   

My laptop is using Win10:

1. I can't find the file of ANSYS and Workbench in the window start menu, so how should I open the product ?

2. I find there is a "install.err" file under C:Program FilesANSYS IncANSYS Student,

    but the installer(where I click the setup button) said that it was install completed. 

What's going on? I have no idea....  I spend almost 5 hours handling this problem, and I need to complete my homework next week, OMG !!

Somebody helps me, please!!!

Click the Search icon next to the Windows button in the lower left.

Type Workbench

What does it find?

It should find Workbench 19.2

Hi, 

Please use 'Run as administrator' while installing. Please make sure that you have read/write permissions. 

Also please go to C:Program FilesANSYS Incv192FrameworkbinWin64 anduse RunWB2.exe to open workbench. 

If you can not find RunWB2 then your installation is not complete and you may need to reinstall it correctly.

Also as its installation related, I am moving this to Installation category for better response.

If for some reason windows 10 is not updating the start menu, you can run workbench by running the following:

C:Program FilesANSYS IncANSYS StudentFrameworkbinwinx64Runwb2.exe

Thank you,

Jake
