Hi,
looks like something went wrong during the installation.

Can you start the "Shell"?

If yes, you may check, whether InsightCAE was installed in the Linux subsystem ("ls /opt/insightcae" should show something). If the directory is not there, then you follow the instructions for Ubuntu 18 to install it in the Linux subsystem.

Regards, Hannes

Please try the following:
* launch the shell
* execute the command:
source /opt/insightcae/bin/insight_setenv.sh
* then start the case builder GUI by executing
isofCaseBuilder

Update, hope i remember everything.. i ended up following the instructions @ https://github.com/hkroeger/insightcae-documentation/commit/89a21df4c5659a8c266d9a1fb9bb131dd54bb055

Eventually i got stuck at line 188 since workbench would not run, i checked the shortcut and run "bash -lc workbench" directly in the console and it worked.. a GUI opened. I closed it and restarted my PC as instructed on line 195.

Run the Start Menu "workbench" shortcut but had the same issue, a console opened and closed immediately as before.

i opened the linux console again, and the following events are evident on the console screenshot

As a result, the case builder showed up

If i open a console in the main InsightCAE directory and run "source /opt/insightcae/bin/insight_setenv.sh", i can then run either "workbench" or "isofCaseBuilder" or "iscad"

Dear Julien,

you need to select "Create" in the first place.

The WSL backend for InsightCAE lays on our server, it will then be downloaded and installed.

Regards, Hannes
