Answer:
Resolution:

The fix is a simple rename of a folder. In the path below rename the X11 folder to Old-X11

/ansys_inc/v150/commonfiles/MainWin/linx64/mw/lib-amd64-linux/

Hello,

I'm like the same problem, but not can not find the file path, so meeting up commonfiles. I use Windows 7 - 64 bit, Ansys version 16.1.

That path corresponds to a Linux installation not Windows. So I don't think you'll find it. Your issue is probably related to something different.
