Hi All,
I've been trying to install Bentley Structural Modeler with Microstation SS2 and get an error that the correct version of Microstation isn't installed even though it is. The install has worked fine on co-workers machines with the same software versions as me so it appears to be an isolated problem.
I have tried uninstalling Microstation, running a registry clean, then reinstalling everything without any luck.
The only difference I have noted is that when I ran the Bentley Structural installer for the first time it required a restart part way through the Microstation update install that the other machines have not required. At the time I got the impression that the restart was interrupting other active dialogues but as the restart seemed to be a part of the install process I clicked it before realising this.
Install file versions:
Setup Prerequisites 08.11.07.03_en.exe
ms081107443en.exe
stf08110794en.exe
Error Message:
Microstation installation of compatible version was not found. You must first install a product of a cersion within this range: Microstation V8i 08.11.07.171 - 08.11.99.9999

Thank you very much for your time,

Do you have Windows' UAC (User Account Control) turned off during the installation process? This is required for Structural Modeler so that certain folders and registry keys can be created and populated.
