Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to install Altair Inspire Form 2022.3 and Extrude Metal with a Student License but when i run the file "AltairInspireForm2022.3_win64.exe" the screen "preparing the installation" appears but when it reaches 100% it disappears and doesn't open the installation menu. Nothing really happens.

Is there any solution for this problem?
I have Windows 10 Pro version 22H2 and i tried to download from differents computers without results.

Thank you very much!

    Hi,

    It is possible that the executable/s was corrupted on download and hence you will need to completely uninstall the software and redownload the executables. It is important to first try deleting the downloaded file and downloading it again.

    If you still face issues, to make sure the file is not damaged on download, run an md5 checksum on the downloaded file (just google md5 checksum):

    1. Double click/run the Winmd5 checksum executable (download win md5 a freeware from the internet, please note we cannot be responsible for external content and info)
    2. Select the executable by clicking on the browse button or drag and drop the file into the window
    3. After running the MD5 checksum on your computer, kindly see if your MD5 checksum value matches the original one.

    Refer this article to find the original MD5 checksum value - https://community.altair.com/community/en/checking-a-downloaded-installer?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0117361&sys_kb_id=5e2d7fc8db8b9950cfd5f6a4e2961925&spa=1

    Hi Payal,

    I have tried everything.
    I have deleted and downloaded the files like 5-6 times.
    I have also run the MD5 Checksum and it gives me everything correct (image attached).

    In fact, I have even tried downloading the Inspire Form 2022.3, 2022.2.1 and 2022.1.1 versions and none of them run the installer after reaching 100% preparation.
     
    From what I see, it is a common problem. Could it be due to some plugin or compatibility with Windows 10?
     
    I await your response, thank you very much.

    Hi again Payal,

    I would say that it is not a hardware issue since I work fluently with other software such as Solidworks 2023 or NX and the problem occurs before being installed.

    Components of my computer do not appear in those lists but I leave them here because I think they are valid:

    CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K - 64bits
    RAM: 16GB
    Graphic Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 2gb
    SSD Disk

    Windows 10 Pro - Version 22H2

    I hope it can help you.

    Thanks again!

    As you were unable to download the software from the license email, please attempt to download it from the AltairOne marketplace here - https://altairone.com/Marketplace

    Hi Payal,

    I was finally able to solve it. I have created a new Windows user where I could install the software and then i deleted this "user" and i continue with license activation on my current user.

    After do that, software is running perfect.

    Thanks.

    does your previous username has any space or special character on it?
