Matthew,
Were you able to solve the issue? I'm having the same issue, and I haven't been able to solve it.
MaryB,
I used the "out of the box" installation. I have Windows 10. I don't know how to repair the installation. How do I do that?
That can be a few things, but we could start with some questions about...do you have a custom configuration, or are you using it out of the box? What version of Windows are you running - V8i is certified for Windows 10, but could glitch with Windows 11.
Have you tried to Repair the installation?

My V8i stopped working earlier this year, and I have been trying to get help with this with no luck. When I tried opening it, this window pops up for like half a second, and it closes right away:
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.
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.
