This installation cannot identify your processor architecture as being compatible with ANSYS Workbench Products for Windows XP x64 Edition
|
Problem Description: If Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is installed on a Vista X64 machine ANSYS 11.0SP1 will not install. The error message is: `This installation cannot identify your processor architecture as being compatible with AWP for Windows XP x64 Edition`. Comments: On a 64-bit machine the ANSYS install checks the `PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER` environment variable for EM64T or AMD64. This check is in place so that an attempt is not made to install the x64 version of ANSYS 11.0 on a 64-bit Itanium machine. Microsoft changed the contents of this environment variable when they released Service Pack 1 in that it no longer displays EM64T or AMD64. Workaround: 1.Open a Windows command prompt 2.Type: set proc 3.Copy the contents of the PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER environment variable 4.Type: set PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=EM64T(for Xeon 64bit) or AMD64(for Opteron), and paste the contents of the PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER environment variable at the end. 5.Rerun the ANSYS 11.0SP1 setup. Example: C:>set proc PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64 PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER= Intel64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 7, GenuineIntel PROCESSOR_LEVEL=15 PROCESSOR_REVISION=0205 C:>set PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=EM64T Intel64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 7, GenuineIntel C:>set proc PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64 PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=EM64T Intel64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 7, GenuineIntel PROCESSOR_LEVEL=15 PROCESSOR_REVISION=0205 C:>AP110winx64ANSYSsetup.exe NOTE: The ANSYS QA Defect number is: 66738 |
