Problem:

I have installed STAAD.Pro in my machine; when I try to launch it from Structural Dashboard it fails to run.

Solution:

To update the link of STAAD.Pro from Structural Dashboard please follow the steps as mentioned below.

Rename  BentleyProducts.xml file from (here C:\ is the root drive where Structural Dashboard has been installed)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\Engineering\Bentley Dashboard V8i SELECTseries 2\BentleyProducts.xml

to  BentleyProducts.xml.original.  To achieve this, right-click on the file and select the option 'Rename'; you might get a warning saying the file will become unusable, click on yes.

Copy the attached BentleyProducts.xml file in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\Engineering\Bentley Dashboard V8i SELECTseries 2\
