Workspace Repair Install Effectiveness

I am upgrading a user from ustat/gpk to pgpk. I an uninstalling everything Bentley and then installing pgpk. After the Bentley install is finished, is it necessary for the FDOT Workstation to be reinstalled in order for all the hooks to reengage? Will it suffice to merely do a repair install of the existing FDOT Workstation install? Programs & Freatures shows it as v1.0.0. Will a repair install revert the current 1.2.1 back to 1.0.0 thus nullifying the MR2 update and hotfix? If so, will the bar menu and version.txt reflect that it indeed has reverted back? Or will I be deceived into thinking I'm still on 1.2.1? If the MR2 is retained, will the hotfix also be retained?

  • I'm not sure that I've ever done a repair install on a workstation, but if you do, I'd recommend using the MR2 workspace installer to do so. PowerGEOPAK does install to a different location than Microstation/GEOPAK, so you do need to re-direct the FDOTSS4 software to look at the new platform. Give me a call at your convenience and I'll be glad to step you through the process and discuss options.
