When trying to open a Bentley Haestad product the following error appears and the program does not open.
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Temporarily disable all antivirus software that is running to determine if it is preventing the application from running. If the software opens with the antivirus software disabled, then add the program's installation directory to the safe list for the antivirus program.C:\Program Files (x86\Bentley\[Program Name]\x64\*
If the antivirus software quarantined the file in question, you may need to restore it first. If antivirus deleted it, you will need to try the "Repair" option against that product in the Windows Programs and Features list, or reinstall the product.
