This document describes many of the paths that recent versions of promis•e use.
In the paths below, "promis-e V8i(M)" folders are for promis•e for MicroStation/PowerDraft, and "promis-e V8i(A)" should be substituted for "promis-e V8i(M)" when promis•e for AutoCAD is being used.
This folder contains the basic executables and program libraries required to make promis•e run. This path is specified during installation and cannot be altered afterward.
C:\Program Files\Bentley\promis-e
C:\Program Files\ECT\promis-e
This folder contains the program related files that require permissions beyond what many users have for the program folder. These files include setup.xml, ECADProject.mdb, and the Menu folder. This path cannot be altered.

This folder contains "content", such as catalogs, parts databases, templates, and projects, along with various options profiles and settings. This folder is specified during installation but can be copied or moved afterward. The paths on the promis-e Setup dialog would need to be updated with any changes to the location of this folder.
