Issue installing cfMesh from CfdOF preferences window

[rennat]

I'm attempting to play with CFD for the first time and am hitting a snag. I've not found anything on google or the forums search for this specific error message but it looks like a path calculation issue? or an assumption that the `blueCFD-Core` directory is the parent of the OpenFOAM install directory?

Preferences > CFD > General:

OpenFOAM install directory: F:\OpenFOAM\OpenFOAM-v1806

blueCFD-Core install seemed to work and is located at F:\Program Files\blueCFD-Core-2017

cfMesh install failed with this output:

Code: Select all

Downloading cfMesh, please wait...

...and as I'm writing this I realize that blueCFD-Core does indeed contain an `OpenFOAM-5.x` directory so this is just a bad assumption on my part. I had pre-installed OpenFOAM before installing blueCFD.
I'm still posting this for reference in case anyone else finds themselves in the same boat.

Yup, at this stage only the BlueCFD version (not the ESI install) is supported under Windows. It should be pretty easy to add support for the other if someone is so inclined.
