Hey everyone,
If you encounter an error while attempting to reinstall Abaqus after uninstalling, follow these steps to resolve the issue. Go to
1) c: drive delete SIMULIA

2) then go to Program Files -> Dassault Systemems and delete everything

Now, try reinstalling the program following the usual installation steps. You should not encounter the "already installed" error anymore.
Best regards,

Just noticed some of you directly deleting the folders above without uninstalling first LOL. Only delete the files after you have uninstalled. You can find the uninstall button for Abaqus here:
