However, If AECOsim Building Designer V8i needs to coexist on a Microsoft Window 7 Operating System with any previous versions of the building applications it may require the Windows User Access Control (UAC) setting to be set to &amp;ldquo;Never notify&amp;rdquo;. Not all previous releases of building applications were certified against Windows 7, therefore they may not support User Account Controls. Please be aware that this is the least secure setting and you open your computer to potential security risks. Please consult the Microsoft Windows 7 documentation for more information concerning User Access Control or refer to &lt;a class="xref" href="http://support.microsoft.com/KB/975787" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Adjust User Account Control settings in Windows 7 and Windows 8&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

However, If AECOsim Building Designer V8i needs to coexist on a Microsoft Window 7 Operating System with any previous versions of the building applications it may require the Windows User Access Control (UAC) setting to be set to &amp;ldquo;Never notify&amp;rdquo;. Not all previous releases of building applications were certified against Windows 7, therefore they may not support User Account Controls. Please be aware that this is the least secure setting and you open your computer to potential security risks. Please consult the Microsoft Windows 7 documentation for more information concerning User Access Control or refer to &lt;a class="xref" href="http://support.microsoft.com/KB/975787" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Adjust User Account Control settings in Windows 7 and Windows 8&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;a class="link-anchor" name="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- --&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Intel&amp;reg; or AMD&amp;reg; processor 1.0 GHz or greater. &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;1 GB available RAM minimum, 4 GB available RAM recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Hard Disk&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;9 GB free disk space (which includes the 5.6 GB install footprint for a complete installation)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Video&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 256 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;, see &lt;a class="xref" href="http://www.bentley.com/MicroStationV8iSystemRequirementsAndHardwareRecommendations" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;MicroStation System Requirements and Hardware Recommendations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Problem Description&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is the hardware requirements for the latest AECOsim Building Designer?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Steps to Resolve&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h1 class="title topictitle1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div class="body conbody"&gt;
&lt;div class="section" id="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__SECTION_955E6DD98E074588A6AE5C1979A1B5FA"&gt;&lt;a name="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__SECTION_955E6DD98E074588A6AE5C1979A1B5FA" class="link-anchor"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- --&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;a name="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782" class="link-anchor"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- --&gt;
&lt;table class="table" id="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782" border="1" rules="all" frame="border" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"&gt;
&lt;tbody class="tbody"&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td align="right" class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Processor&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Intel&amp;reg; or AMD&amp;reg; processor 1.0 GHz or greater. &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td align="right" class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;1 GB available RAM minimum, 4 GB available RAM recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td align="right" class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Hard Disk&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;9 GB free disk space (which includes the 5.6 GB install footprint for a complete installation)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td align="right" class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Video&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 256 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;, see &lt;a class="xref" href="http://www.bentley.com/MicroStationV8iSystemRequirementsAndHardwareRecommendations" target="_blank"&gt;MicroStation System Requirements and Hardware Recommendations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;

Not all previous releases of building applications were certified against Windows 7, therefore they may not support User Account Controls. Please be aware that this is the least secure setting and you open your computer to potential security risks. Please consult the Microsoft Windows 7 documentation for more information concerning User Access Control or refer to &lt;a class="xref" href="http://support.microsoft.com/KB/975787" target="_blank"&gt;Adjust User Account Control settings in Windows 7 and Windows 8&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

The Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications needs to be installed on your system once, and only needs to be reinstalled if you are installing a later version of &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;V8&lt;span class="ph italic"&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that requires an updated prerequisite pack.

The contents of the Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class="sl simple"&gt;
&lt;li class="sli"&gt;Windows Installer Version 3.1v2&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="sli"&gt;Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP 1&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li class="sli"&gt;DHTML Editing Control for Applications (with Vista compatibility)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="sli"&gt;DirectX 9.0c&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;DirectX 9.0 is installed only if needed and only if you are using Windows XP. Windows Vista includes DirectX 10; Windows 7 includes DirectX 11. If your operating system is Windows Vista with a graphics card with GPU feature level 10 or later, then AECOsim Building Designer V8i will use DirectX 10. If your operating system is Windows 7 with a graphics card with GPU feature level 11, then AECOsim Building Designer V8i will use DirectX 11.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Microsoft Internet Explorer v6.0 or later with 128-bit cipher strength is also required. It is &lt;dfn class="term"&gt;not&lt;/dfn&gt; part of the &lt;dfn class="term"&gt;Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications&lt;/dfn&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

However, If AECOsim Building Designer V8i needs to coexist on a Microsoft Window 7 Operating System with any previous versions of the building applications it may &lt;span class="ph uicontrol"&gt;require the Windows User Access Control (UAC) setting to be set to &amp;ldquo;Never notify&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;. Not all previous releases of building applications were certified against Windows 7, therefore they may not support User Account Controls. Please be aware that this is the least secure setting and you open your computer to potential security risks. Please consult the Microsoft Windows 7 documentation for more information concerning User Access Control or refer to &lt;a class="xref" href="http://support.microsoft.com/KB/975787" target="_blank"&gt;Adjust User Account Control settings in Windows 7 and Wndows 8&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td align="right" class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Video&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 256 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;, see &lt;a class="xref" href="http://www.bentley.com/MicroStationV8iSystemRequirementsAndHardwareRecommendations" target="_blank"&gt;MicroStation System Requirements and Hardware Recommendations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p class="p"&gt;DirectX 9.0 is installed only if needed and only if you are using Windows XP. Windows Vista includes DirectX 10; Windows 7 includes DirectX 11. If your operating system is Windows Vista with a graphics card with GPU feature level 10 or later, then AECOsim Building Designer V8i will use DirectX 10.

However, If AECOsim Building Designer V8i needs to coexist on a Microsoft Window 7 Operating System with any previous versions of the building applications it may &lt;span class="ph uicontrol"&gt;require the Windows User Access Control (UAC) setting to be set to &amp;ldquo;Never notify&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;. Not all previous releases of building applications were certified against Windows 7, therefore they may not support User Account Controls. Please be aware that this is the least secure setting and you open your computer to potential security risks. Please consult the Microsoft Windows 7 documentation for more information concerning User Access Control or refer to &lt;a class="xref" href="http://support.microsoft.com/KB/975787" target="_blank"&gt;Adjust User Account Control settings in Windows 7 and Wndows 8&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;is: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;a class="link-anchor" name="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782"&gt;&lt;!-- --&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Intel® or AMD® processor 1.0 GHz or greater. &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2. &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top" align="right"&gt;Memory &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;1 GB available RAM minimum, 4 GB available RAM recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models. &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top" align="right"&gt;Hard Disk &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;9 GB free disk space (which includes the 5.6 GB install footprint for a complete installation) &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top" align="right"&gt;Video &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 256 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for &lt;span class="ph"&gt;AECOsim Building Designer &lt;/span&gt;, see &lt;a class="xref" href="http://www.bentley.com/MicroStationV8iSystemRequirementsAndHardwareRecommendations" target="_blank"&gt;MicroStation System Requirements and Hardware Recommendations&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Hence, if you are installing AECOsim Building Designer V8i on Windows 8, you need to enable the .NET Framework 3.5 in Control Panel. For details, refer to the &lt;span class="ph uicontrol"&gt;Enabling the .NET Framework 3.5 in Control Panel and Troubleshooting sections&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;a class="xref" href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/LIBRARY/HH506443(V=VS.110).ASPX" target="_blank"&gt;Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 or 8.1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

However, If AECOsim Building Designer V8i needs to coexist on a Microsoft Window 7 Operating System with any previous versions of the building applications it may &lt;span class="ph uicontrol"&gt;require the Windows User Access Control (UAC) setting to be set to “Never notify”&lt;/span&gt;. Not all previous releases of building applications were certified against Windows 7, therefore they may not support User Account Controls. Please be aware that this is the least secure setting and you open your computer to potential security risks. Please consult the Microsoft Windows 7 documentation for more information concerning User Access Control or refer to &lt;a class="xref" href="http://support.microsoft.com/KB/975787" target="_blank"&gt;Adjust User Account Control settings in Windows 7 and Wndows 8&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
