RE: Microstation v8i Select series 10 - 08.11.09.919 - does not open after installation

Please check if its Antivirus related. Antivirus issues are documented here

Check the Connection Client version. Upgrade to the latest version and test.

If you still have issues, kindly share the Event and Crash logs

Event logs - check video

If you need assistance I would recommend filing a service request.

Matthew,

I could not solve it because Bentley started supporting v8i in January 2022 and is unwilling to help. I ended up switching to CONNECT, but I work with multiple state agencies that still use the V8i environment, and it has been impossible to move forward. Were you able to solve it?

Leonard,

I switched to the CONNECT version, and it works with no issues. The problem is that I work with multiple state agencies that still use the v8i environment, and I'm not able to open any Microstation files directly from ProjectWise:

Plus, all of my projects were started in V8i, and when I open those with CONNECT, all the text gets moved around, and the fonts get messed up.

You will probably need to install a copy of V8i on your computer to keep around for those projects. Once you have that, you can right-click the file in ProjectWise and choose Open With...to open the file with your V8i.

The V8i configuration/environment is VERY different from the CONNECT configuration/environment.
