Description of the bug

Hi,

i am trying the following code :

**import pyaedt import shutil import os

version = "2024.1"

working_dir = r"D:\Working_dir"

if os.path.isdir(working_dir): shutil.rmtree(working_dir) os.mkdir(working_dir)

aedb_path = os.path.join(working_dir, pyaedt.generate_unique_name("pcb") + ".aedb") print(aedb_path) edb = pyaedt.Edb(edbpath=aedb_path, edbversion=version)

edb.stackup.add_layer("GND") edb.stackup.add_layer("Diel", "GND", layer_type="dielectric", thickness="0.1mm", material="FR4_epoxy") edb.stackup.add_layer("TOP", "Diel", thickness="0.05mm")

edb.save_edb() edb.close_edb()

h3d = pyaedt.Hfss3dLayout(projectname=aedb_path, specified_version=version, new_desktop_session=True, non_graphical=False) h3d.release_desktop()**

It runs on my colleagues computer but not on mine when using : version = "2023.2" / version = "2024.1" / version = "2024.2"

but it works fine for version = "2022.2".

I tried to run the program in Pycharm and in the command line.

I get following errors :

It seems than whatever version i am using, Pyaedt seems to search only in the 2022 installation folder : C:\Program Files\AnsysEM\v222\Win64

I found the problem. I had a path to 2022R2 in my environment variables list... Sorry ;-)
