I would highly recommend that you download and install the latest release of the SELECTserver application. Currently it is version number 09.00.00.113 an available from our SELECTservices website. Ensure that you get the version that matches your Operating system either 32 or 64 bits. They are clearly marked. Unpack the downloaded executable. By default it goes into the following directory

“C:\BentleyDownloads\SELECTserver_09.00.00.113”

The name may vary to the proper version number for the specific build. In sided this directory you will find a SELECTserverHelp.pdf file. There is an Installation Guide section that will walk you through the process.

The SELECTserver application requires a Microsoft Administrator skill set. Many of the prerequisite components are Microsoft components that the SELECTserver application “makes use of” but does not control. These components must be in place and functional for smooth and successful installation process. If this seems a bit over whelming I would recommend that you look into using our SELECTserver Online options. Basically internet access is required and all of the items discussed in this article are managed by Bentley’s It department not yours.
