I was able to install Abaqus 2017 Student Edition without any problems. When I click on Abaqus CAE, however, the command window gives me this message:

"Abaqus Error: Abaqus/CAE Kernel exited with an error.
Press any key to continue . . ."

When I run Abaqus Verification, I get these messages in the verify.log.txt:

"

Anyway, can someone help me? Simulia does not provide technical support for the student edition, and I have searched all over the internet trying to find a solution without any luck.
