Question
I am curious about how to reinstall FEA NX after uninstalling it.
Answer
If essential modules for running the program are missing or damaged during the initial installation of FEA NX, it is necessary to delete all program-related data and logs and reinstall them. Or, to install a new version, it is necessary to remove all previous versions of the program.
In addition, during the installation process, modules essential for program operation or execution may be missing or damaged due to security issues on the user's PC. To prevent this, we recommend disabling antivirus and firewall software before installation and proceeding with Windows updates. Windows updates are a good way to correct system errors, including security issues on the computer. While it is difficult to determine whether specific errors occurring during Windows updates are directly related to the installation of FEA NX, they have a positive impact on resolving overall security and error issues in the system.
Finally, we recommend closing all other applications, including Microsoft Office which is integrated with the MIDAS program, and deleting them before reinstalling them. Running other applications during the MIDAS program installation process can interfere with the installation, so it is best to close them all before proceeding.
