v1606+ Installation on Windows 7
 

Never used OpenFOAM before. Tried installing on a Windows 7 laptop. Installation seems to work, and I can start with OpenFOAM_start desktop icon. A command prompt appears allowing input, and I could change directory to workingDir. BUT, the issue is that I cannot locate the tutorials. The \Opt folder does NOT exist after installation.
In the FAQ's on openfoam.com it says:

• Where is OpenFOAM installed in Windows?
  The OpenFOAM installation is in /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1606+
• Where are the OpenFOAM tutorials located?
  The OpenFOAM tutorials are located in /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1606+/tutorials

... Again, these folders simply do not exist after the installation. What the installation creates is only this:


\Esi\OpenFOAM\1066\Scripts ... where I guess the installed files are actually located


PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU!
