[OpenFOAM.com] 3.0+ Installing on windows 10

tohagit · July 8, 2016, 03:35

Hi
I need to install openfoam v3.0+ on win10 (works fine on win7, stupid microsoft decided to upgrade my pc)
the OF_Env_Create works and shuts down quickly, don't know if here is an error...
the OpenFOAM_Start also shuts down quickly.
can't seem to get it to work.

also, after reading some FAQ, i did try to open Oracle VM VirtualBox, in regular and administrator but it won't open.

Thanks!

Hi... v3.0+ may not work in windows 10..
Better download new version v1606+ (naming has changed , it is still sucessor of OpenFOAM-v3.0+

You need to uninstall all component of previous install before running it i.e docker , git , virtual box
