Hello, I am encountering issues when attempting to launch Workbench using the launch_workbench() function after installing PyWorkbench. Here are the details of the problem:

After installing PyWorkbench following the official documentation, I ran the following code to verify the installation:

from ansys.workbench.core import launch_workbench
workbench = launch_workbench()

However, I encountered the error :"WARNING:root:Ansys installation is not found. Assume the default location: C:/Program Files/Ansys Inc/v242 ERROR:root:Workbench failed to launch on the host."

To troubleshoot, I explicitly specified the version of Ansys installed on my machine by modifying the code as follows:

from ansys.workbench.core import launch_workbench
workbench = launch_workbench(version='231')

Unfortunately, the error persists:"UnboundNameException: name startServer is not defned"

The version of PyWorkbench I installed is 0.7.0, and the version of Workbench I installed is 23R1.Before using PyWorkbench, I had used PyFluent and never encountered any issues.

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The following content is the detailed error message：

Hi, minimum Workbench version is 242 in order to support pyworkbench. Please install 242 or above and try again.
