Clean Installation - RAM Structural System

Before doing these steps, please make copies of any custom tables that have been added to the program. The default location for tables is:

• C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Engineering\RAM Structural System\Tables\

Ensure that none of your models are saved within the RAM Structural System folder.

Finally, if you have made modifications to your user defaults, please make a copy of your RamIS.ini file. The RAMIS.ini file is located here:

• C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Engineering\RAM Structural System

The defaults can be copied into the new configuration file later on, if needed.

Go to the Control Panel. Select Programs and Features. Uninstall RAM Structural System.

For a clean install, it is also recommended that you remove the following folders (if they exist):

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Bentley\Engineering\VPEControl\
• C:\Program Files\Common Files\Bentley\Engineering\RAMCommon\
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Bentley\Engineering\RAMDataAccess_2_0
• C:\Program Files\Bentley\Engineering\RAM Structural System\Prog\

Once this is done, reinstall the latest version of RAM Structural System.

After installation, copy any custom tables to the Tables folder. The default location is noted above.

To restore the user defaults to the new RAMIS.ini file

• Open the saved copy of the RAMIS.ini file (that was saved per instructions above)
• Open the new RAMIS.ini file located at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Engineering\RAM Structural System\
• With the exception of the [Directories] portion of the file, copy the contents of the old file to the new file.
