We are a Chicago company working with the "Latest" versions of the SS4 Geopak. We are driven by our DOT and their workspace, and the associated bugs and issues involved with a major DOT workspace and Geopak / MicroStation.
As the one in charge with updating all this Bentley software, I am still working (I Hope) in the stone age, uninstalling all the bentley software when needed just so I can re-install the latest version of MicroStation that it is all based upon and then start again.
The problem is: there are so many versions coming along trying to solve so many problems with the program that I have restarted reinstalling this stuff 4 times in the last 8 - 12 months.
Needless to say, with almost 100 machines, I CANNOT keep up effectively.
I have tried just removing MicroStation Geopak and then just installing those two rather than everything I need to install for each user - but with this method, the latest versions of Geopak SS4 are too buggy and will only work properly if I do a clean install.
I have also tried just doing the supposed Update Option, which Bentley is supposed to be able to do... but this has never worked.
I am looking to see what alternatives are available for mass re-install or selective installation of either entire machines or partial when a Bentley refresh is needed. I am open to third part solutions...
Basically,
How do you Handle this situation?
Thanks!
