We use MicroStation and two version of Power InRoads. When installing these, I am forced to uncheck the Visualization Content option in order to enable the Install Button. I had to locate and manually download and install the Visualization Content after the fact.
Is these some type of configuration file that tells the CADD Engines the Visualization Content is now available? I need to confirm that it is available for any other three software packages and do not know how to accomplish this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
Just a thought. why don't you download the content and manually place it in the workspace, then map the content via the rendering VARs
I’m looking for the configuration delivered by Bentley so I don’t have to reverse engineer the methodology. Eventually I have to make it work in ProjectWise.

Chuck,
I'm not aware of a unique variable the points to\enables the viz. content. To be clear I'm talking about the items in C:\ProgramData\Bentley\SharedContent. If you want to test if the viz. content files are available, it's easy enough to do a %if exists in PW (assuming managed workspaces). The viz. forum may get you a better answer.

In the past, when I start getting into the weeds about CFG variables and DGNLIB's, my messages get moved back here. I did a repair, but it does not seem to make any connection to other products - no CFG files that I could see.

When running the installer it checks to see if the content has been installed this is tracked through installed programs. If you go to Uninstall a program you should see it in the list, see image above.
If not found through that it will try to contact a server if unable to you usually get the behavior you describe, ie install button greyed out.
