I have tried to install both COMSOL 5.4 and 5.3a on my newly setup windows 10 machine, but neither of the two runs. I have tried to re-run the installer, delete the configuration directories in C:\Users\<username>.comsol and also installed Java (which as far as I understand should not be necessary as the COMSOL installer should take care of it.
What can I do?
Some of the errors I have experienced: After installing java, I get the following error when trying to rerun the installer on my COMSOL 5.3a installation: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\creat\AppData\Local\Temp\comsolsetup5736\lib\win64\csutil.dll: Can't find dependent libraries
However, the COMSOL 5.4 setup does not show this error and starts as expected. But when I try to start it I get the following error:

Given that is a completely clean re-install of my entire computer, I am not sure why I would run into this.
Please help me!
