LumenRT content - multiple updates

The LumenRT updates have left my hard drive with large folders of LRT content;

  • Bentley LumenRT CONNECT Edition - Update 1 (5938 files)
  • Bentley LumenRT CONNECT Edition - Update 10 (4789 files)
  • Bentley LumenRT CONNECT Edition - Update 12 (4290 files)

In addition, I've added a number of LOB files to these folders, created in PlantFactory.

Question are;

  1. Would it be safe to delete the first two updates, so that I only have the Update 12 folder? Related to this; there are folders for each update in Program Files.
  2. Why does the update installer not do this automatically, so that there is only one location for the current version of LumenRT?

Thanks,

Max

  • Thanks Ron, I'm glad you agree.

    I typically don't uninstall older versions of any software, in the hope that the update installers would keep any customizations and user-created content while overwriting redundant files/ folders. It seems like the intuitive thing to do, and generally works with most things I use. Adobe and Microsoft products seem to do a really good job of tidying up after themselves. Here's hoping LumenRT will head in the same direction.
