Area:	Basic Settings

There is a potential issue with the install of the MicroStation 08.11.09.832 dependency build used by InRoads/GEOPAK/MX 08.11.09.872. When installing MicroStation 08.11.09.832, you MUST uninstall any the previous version of MicroStation (.578 or .608 or .654, 714 etc...) before you install. It will NOT update the installed MicroStation version correctly. The version in the Control Panel will reflect the new .832 version number, but the registry still lists the previously installed build number as the installed program.

This issue was originally found when a user reported that InRoads shortcut icon target was pointing to "C:\MICROSTATIONDIR\uStation.exe..." instead of the correct local path for the MicroStation executable "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\MicroStation\uStation.exe"

What happens if you have already installed MS .832 on top of .578 or .608 or .654 or .714? In this case, we are able to uninstall the .832 version but previous MicroStation DLLs and registry entries still exist on the machine because the product code is different. So we have a product on the machine that we cannot get rid of and need to be removed. Here are the steps we followed to remove the MicroStation products and get the correct 08.11.09.832 version installed:

1. Go into the Control Panel and Uninstall MicroStation 08.11.09.832.
2. Reinstall the previous version of MicroStation (.578 or .608 or .654 or .714) from your Bentley Downloads.
3. Immediately uninstall this version of through the control panel.
4. Reinstall MicroStation 08.11.09.832 from your Bentley Downloads.
5. Install InRoads or Geopak or MX 08.11.09.872
