Recently upgraded to ProjectWise Explorer V8i SELECTseries 4. When I run Print Organizer in MicroStation V8i SS2 and try to add files to theset, I get error "Unable to load file pw\\:..." every time. It seems the error message is a result of upgrading to PW Explorer v8i SS4. Print Organizer worked with PW Explorer v8i SS3.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Having the exact same issue here. I am running PW SS4 - 08.11.11.111 and Microstation SS2 V 8.11.7.443. At first I ran into a problem with a path too long, fixed that by switching myself to not dsplay descriptions in my interface in PW. Now it just simply states "Unable to load design file "pw:\\...dgn". No other clues or hints are provided as to why it won't load. Would someone from Bentley please give an answer as to what is going wrong here. And I am in charge of over 500 seats of Microstation, so please don't say "Upgrade". A simple explanation of why this is happening would be appreciated if a solution can't be provided.
Much appreciated,
Michael Brennan
I have seen this problem before. The problem started after upgrading to ProjectWise SS4. You can see the problem when using MicroStation SS2 or MicroStation SS3. The user had the following code in his managed workspace:
%if defined (_PWEXPLORER)
PW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION=1
%ENDIF
Once these lines were removed, the problem went away.
The treatment of this variable (PW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION) has changed between MicroStation and ProjectWise since the previous release. Disabling ProjectWise integration via a cfg variable in the managed workspace now prevents Print Organizer's worker process from being able to load the design file.
