File[(x86)/Bentley/PROJEC~1] does not exist
The c:\program files(x86) directory on the machine has had the 8.3 shortname removed, and ProjectWise is expecting it to be enabled. The space in the directory is causing the error.
To verify that is the case open a command prompt and browse to the c: drive:
cd c:\
and then run this to find out the shortnames:
dir /x
Make sure that Program Files (x86) has the short name configured (PROGRA~2 in this example) if there is nothing there, then you risk getting this error opening MicroStation files out of ProjectWise

There is a defect filed for ProjectWise to handle this situation, but in the meantime the only workaround is to install ProjectWise and MicroStation in Windows directories that do not contain a space in the path
