Abaqus 6.12-3 was installed successfully in Windows 10. When Abaqus CAE or viewer is opened, a dailog box appears showing " A temporary directory for the RSG plug-in could not be created; therefore, it was not registered" . The temp as wellas plugin folders were created by Abaqus installation to ensure Abaqus has read/write authority.

When I checked the installation log file, i could not dfind any error or warning for RSG plugin installation.

The log file showed that the following Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 installer failed. Could this be the issue for the dialog box?
