Hello, I'm a student and I had a problem installing MicroStation PowerDraft V8i SELECTSeries 10 (SES) from Bentley software on a new, clean Win 10. I runed the exe file, unzipped the files in the specified folder - BentleyDownloads, but then the "preparing to install" window pops up and quickly disappears and nothing happens anymore. What could be the reason for this, or maybe my actions are wrong. Thanks in advance.
It might be a good idea to install and run as Administrator to ensure you have full permissions when performing these operations.

As Oto suggested, a clean installation of Windows 10 would not be the same as a current updated installation so it might be a good idea to perform a Windows Update to ensure you have all the latest updates.
