Power GeoPak Create Deployment Silent Install

Chris Smith — Fri, 01 Nov 2019 16:16:37 GMT

Throwing this in here but not really the OpenRoads edition.

Power GeoPak v8i SS10 8.11.09.918

Trying to create the silent install for Power GeoPak. It extracts all the files and creates a CreateDeployment icon. However, when I click on this icon, it just starts a standard install. I followed the information given here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/9053/how-to-do-a-silent-install-of-geopak , but this doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas? I am really trying to create a silent install that will allow me to do a network deployment via PDQ or SCCM. Thanks all.

GeoPak "crashes" when attempting to delete a Copy\Parallel

Chris Smith — Mon, 09 Sep 2019 17:43:45 GMT

I am really hoping that I am explaining this correctly. We have an engineer who is using a reference file and will Copy\Parallel. When they attempt to delete a copy, then GeoPak will crash and give what appears a standard exception screen. She has created the reference file from scratch and it continuously happens. Once the file crashes, it can no longer be opened by anyone. She has no issues with other reference files, just this one. Hopefully someone has seen this before and can give some insight.

MS_Font error when opening DWG files

Chris Smith — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 14:13:18 GMT

I have searched the error and found a few things. However, I am running into an odd situation.

We have a 3rd party that is providing us with a datasource into their servers\files. I have 3 users total who are opening dwg files from this project in ProjectWise via MicroStation. Only one of the users is able to open files on their own workstation. Here is what is interesting -- if I log into any computer with my domain admin account, I can open files using any of the users ProjectWise log in. If I log into my workstation using my regular AD account, then I get the error on all users when logging into ProjectWise as that user.

Additional information: I can open a dwg using MicroStation as stand alone.

Error message:

Cannot locate default SHX font(s) (defined as 'msdefault'). Please ensure that one can be found in MS_FONTPATH or MS_DWGFONTPATH, or modify the font configuration file to specify a different default. Program must now exit!
