🤓 Before submitting the issue
🔍 Description of the bugHi, I am having some issue about licencing with MAPDL. I need to locate path_of_the_exe of mapdl. It is supposed to be in: But unfortunately there is nothing at this location... There is only the following file in this directory: I tryied to use save_ansys_path(path_exe) for many path but none has worked. I should precise that I don't only have Ansys but also all of the software that comes with it (Workbench, spaceClaim, Fluent). I guess I have a different directory arborescence because of that multiple software library package. Thanks, in advance 🕵️ Steps To Reproducefrom ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
from ansys.mapdl.core.launcher import save_ansys_path
path_exe = "C:/Program Files/ANSYS Inc/v231/fluent/ntbin/win64/fluent.exe"
# path_exe = "C:/Program Files/ANSYS Inc/v231/commonfiles/AAS/bin/winx64/MapdlaaS.exe"
# path_exe = "C:/Program Files/ANSYS Inc/v231/Framework/bin/Win64/RunWB2.exe"
# path_exe = "C:/Program Files/ANSYS Inc/v231/ansys/ac4/bin/ug/winx64/ansconug.exe"
# path_exe = "C:/Program Files/ANSYS Inc/v231/commonfiles/Tcl/bin/winx64/wish.exe"
save_mapdl_path(path_exe)

Hi @zouki-dev this sounds like a MAPDL installation issue and not a PyMAPDL issue. If C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v231\ansys\bin\winx64 does not have about 3.5 GB worth of files/folders then the installation is incomplete. Did you download the iso or zip file version of the installation media? If the zip did you use a 3rd party tool to extract the files (and not MS File Explorer)? Did you install as admin (right-click the setup.exe and run as admin)? |

I have a folder full of stuff and a setup.exe for the install. I guess it was in .zip before. I did find the ANSYS231.exe file in the installation folder. but not at the excepted place and in an .zip Still doesn't work to just extract and put that at the right place... PS: I did reinstall as admin. |

@zouki-dev did you use an application other that MS File Explorer to extract the installation files from the downloaded zip file? If not please do so then try the install. |

@mikerife Thank you ! Reinstalling not using 7zip actually solves it. Now I have stuff at C:/Program Files/ANSYS Inc/v231/ansys/bin/winx6/ANSYS231.exe I still have issues some issues but it's not related to this issue I think. I'm going to move on a other post. |
