After posting this, I decided to click directly on the hyperlink in the error report. I went directly to the hyperlink to install. Apparently the application requires verification on my firewall with the capcha. I'm going to leave this here in case anyone else has this problem

Zalika Ockleberry​ Chances are you might be installing in a 32-bit machine, which is not supported by ThingWorx Studio. Please follow the System Requirement

Yes, Zalika mentioned following windows details:

Windows : 10.0.14393.0 (Win32NT)

So, that's the issue. It's not supported.

Edit : This fixed my issue btw, Thingworx is working just fine.

Just curious, do you mean installing in a 64-bit machine fixed the issue?

I meant that clicking the hyperlink and passing my firewall's capcha allowed my computer to successfully install. I did not reinstall on another computer.

Aah got you!! Didn't see your reply under the question.
