dID YOU SUCEEDED IN SOLVING YOUR PROBLEM? IF YES, I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUGGESTIONS AS I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM

RE: Ansys 8.0 - Error in startup script

Hello,

I have the answer to your problem ... I had the same one and here is the solution:

'Error in start up script'
'can't find package Itcl while executing
"package require Itcl"
(file "c:\documents and settings\user\program files\ansys inc\v##\commonfiles\launcher\launchermain.itcl" line41.

Add the following lines to the paths and the launcher will run. Please note that the TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY are environment variables which are typically set on a Windows machine via Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables.

For TCL_LIBRARY

C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\V80\CommonFiles\TCL\lib\tcl8.4

For TK_LIBRARY

C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\V80\CommonFiles\TCL\lib\tk8.4

Doing this, you should solve your problema and Ansys will start normally !

Hoping it will be useful !

Alain
