My Zemax Optic Studio is not working on my computer. It is downloaded but will not open. I have all the requirements listed on Zemaxs website but still has this issue.

Hi @Marvalawrence,

Apologies on the late reply. In case you are still seeing this issue or for the benefit of others, try/check the following in order:

  1. Check this Knowledgebase article to see if you are getting any common errors: Troubleshooting your OpticStudio installation – Knowledgebase (zemax.com)
  2. Reinstall / repair the Visual C redistributables (see article from the first check).
  3. Run C:\Program Files\Zemax OpticStudio\OpticStudio_Prerequisites.exe to check the perquisites.
  4. Uninstall / reinstall OpticStudio.
  5. Reinstall .NET from this page:

  6. Contact Zemax support if you are a supported user.

Best,
Ethan
