Adding x64 Workstation Station in our Environment

Paul

I have add those command line to the USACE_tflocal.cfg file but when user on x32 machine lanuch Bentley app get the following error message listed below,do issues but on x64 machines.

can't open macro file [C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation\config/msdir.cfg],

[O:\Micro_Workspace_2010\TS_Workspaces\USACE_Dataset_09Q4a\Program\Triforma\conf

ig\USACE_tflocal.cfg], line 77

I reviewed the new USACE workspace (there is a new one for V8i: 09Q4a_v8i) and the MSDIR is defined like this:

MSDIR : ${_ROOTDIR}

This allows for the configuration to use _ROOTDIR which is defined on each machine. Another thing you might want to edit is the shortcuts themselves. The USACE workspace utilizes custom shrotcuts to start the BIM applications. If you have a mix of 64 bit and non-64 bit you would need to have two different shorcuts as the Target would need to be different. In the new workspace the shortcuts use a windows environment variable %PROGRAMFILES%, that way there is only one shortcut needed. The Target of the shortcut reads like this for a V8i installation:

"%PROGRAMFILES%\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 1)\MicroStation\ustation.exe" -wc"N:\TS_Workspaces\TS_Dataset_09Q4a_v8i\Program\Triforma\config\TS_atflocal.cfg"

For XM installs it would look like this:

"%PROGRAMFILES%\Bentley\MicroStation\ustation.exe" -wc"N:\TS_Workspaces\USACE_Dataset_09Q4a\Program\Triforma\config\USACE_atflocal.cfg"

Here is a screen capture of the shortcut properties for Bentley Architecture:

Give this a try and see if it works for your non-64 bit machines and your 64 bit machines.
