When installing AECOsim Building Designer (ABD) the following options need to be used.

  1. Set UAC to 'Never Notify' while installing (this is not the same as turning UAC off which is not recommended!). Reset UAC to your previous setting once the installation is complete.
  2. Always install by right-clicking the .exe file and picking 'Run as administrator' to install using elevated permissions.

More details about UAC and ABD can be found in the product ReadMe.

For CONNECT Edition products this is accessible prior to installation from the Bentley Product Documentation website. Click on the Building Design tile; select AECOsim Building Designer Readme and the version you need, then click on the green tile background to proceed to the document:
