&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This document outlines the minimum system configuration for installation and minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Installation Requirements&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A CD drive or access to the internet is required for product installation. The minimum system configuration for installation is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;
&lt;table class="table" id="GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438__TABLE_47FFD0877A3F42278832D14AAC7ED06B" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" frame="border" rules="all"&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="note note" id="GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438__GUID-B70CAC97-6BEC-4C50-9B68-14D11709688F"&gt;&lt;span class="notetitle"&gt;Note:&lt;/span&gt; You must have the following Microsoft updates installed on your machine:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li class="note note"&gt;KB2919355 - For Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bentley does not support its software running on Microsoft operating systems versions that Microsoft has &amp;quot;retired&amp;quot;. For more information see &lt;a class="xref" href="http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&amp;amp;x=17&amp;amp;y=9#tab1" target="_BLANK"&gt;Microsoft&amp;#39;s application retirement policy&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a class="xref" href="http://www.bentley.com/BentleyApplicationSupportLifecycle" target="_BLANK"&gt;Bentley Application Support Lifecycle&lt;/a&gt;. For similar information on Bentley products, refer to the &lt;a class="xref" href="http://www.bentley.com/BentleyApplicationSupportLifecycle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Bentley Product Support&lt;/a&gt; article.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Internet&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Internet connectivity is required to install the product. Installer will attempt to automatically detect your computer&amp;#39;s proxy settings from the Internet Explorer. If required, the installer will show a dialog for entering user name and password. In the absence of internet connection, you can create a &lt;a class="xref" href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/Bentley%20Substation%20Help-v5/en/GUID-56DB4E50-74D9-48AB-9153-9C717B7A8E88"&gt;Deployment Image&lt;/a&gt; of the product and install it.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Software Prerequisites&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;The&lt;em lang="en"&gt; Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications&lt;/em&gt; are automatically downloaded and installed to your workstation while you install Bentley Substation. The contents of the &lt;em lang="en"&gt;Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications &lt;/em&gt;include:
&lt;ul class="ul" id="GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438__UL_5FE725833DD24D4FABB5A08B0E713CF2"&gt;

&lt;li class="li" id="GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438__LI_B277D2AB8F6E4B3ABAAF1F6D4E67F971"&gt;Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications core&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="li" id="GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438__LI_6E89C16B637046048E6C9D33AB5A875E"&gt;Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications localized&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Microsoft Internet Explorer, minimum v11.0, with 128-bit cipher strength. Microsoft no longer supports any versions prior to v11.0. Internet Explorer is not installed as part of the product pre-requisites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Copyrights in all components are owned by Microsoft Corporation or one of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or licensors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;
&lt;table class="table" id="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" frame="border" rules="all"&gt;
&lt;tbody class="tbody"&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Processor&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Intel&amp;reg; or AMD&amp;reg; processor 1.0 GHz or greater.&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;16 GB minimum, 32 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Hard Disk&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;24&amp;nbsp;GB free disk space (which includes the&amp;nbsp;16 GB install footprint for a complete installation)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Video&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 1 GB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation &lt;/span&gt; attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation &lt;/span&gt;, see the &lt;a class="xref" href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/Bentley%20Substation%20Help-v5/en/GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438.html"&gt;Installation Requirements&lt;/a&gt; section.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Screen Resolution&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;1024 x 768 or higher.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OpenUtilities Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default, it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; checkbox. OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OpenUtilities Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Internet&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Internet connectivity is required to install the product. Installer will attempt to automatically detect your computer&amp;#39;s proxy settings from the Internet Explorer. If required, the installer will show a dialog for entering user name and password. In the absence of internet connection, you can create a &lt;a class="xref" href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/Bentley%20Substation%20Help-v5/en/GUID-56DB4E50-74D9-48AB-9153-9C717B7A8E88"&gt;Deployment Image&lt;/a&gt; of the product and install it.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;16 GB minimum, 32 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 1 GB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation &lt;/span&gt; attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation &lt;/span&gt;, see the &lt;a class="xref" href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/Bentley%20Substation%20Help-v5/en/GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438.html"&gt;Installation Requirements&lt;/a&gt; section.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OpenUtilities Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default, it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; checkbox. OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OpenUtilities Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall OpenUtilities&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Internet&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Internet connectivity is required to install the product. Installer will attempt to automatically detect your computer&amp;#39;s proxy settings from the Internet Explorer. If required, the installer will show a dialog for entering user name and password. In the absence of internet connection, you can create a &lt;a class="xref" href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/Bentley%20Substation%20Help-v5/en/GUID-56DB4E50-74D9-48AB-9153-9C717B7A8E88"&gt;Deployment Image&lt;/a&gt; of the product and install it.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;16 GB minimum, 32 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 1 GB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation &lt;/span&gt; attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation &lt;/span&gt;, see the &lt;a class="xref" href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/Bentley%20Substation%20Help-v5/en/GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438.html"&gt;Installation Requirements&lt;/a&gt; section.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; check box. &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;
&lt;table class="table" id="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" frame="border" rules="all"&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;16 GB minimum, 32 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 1 GB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation &lt;/span&gt; attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. For more information on recommended workstation profiles for &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation &lt;/span&gt;, see the &lt;a class="xref" href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/Bentley%20Substation%20Help-v5/en/GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438.html"&gt;Installation Requirements&lt;/a&gt; section.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; check box. &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Installation Requirements&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A CD drive or access to the internet is required for product installation. The minimum system configuration for installation is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;

&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;4 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, Bentley Substation attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;

&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; check box. &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;
&lt;table class="table" id="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" frame="border" rules="all"&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;4 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;tr class="row"&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, Bentley Substation attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;

&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; check box. &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;The&lt;em lang="en"&gt; Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications&lt;/em&gt; are automatically downloaded and installed to your workstation while you install Bentley Substation. The contents of the &lt;em lang="en"&gt;Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications &lt;/em&gt;include:
&lt;ul class="ul" id="GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438__UL_5FE725833DD24D4FABB5A08B0E713CF2"&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Microsoft Internet Explorer, minimum v8.0, recommended v9.0 or later, with 128-bit cipher strength is also required. It is &lt;em lang="en"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; installed as part of the product pre-requisites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Copyrights in all components are owned by Microsoft Corporation or one of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or licensors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;
&lt;table class="table" id="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" frame="border" rules="all"&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Intel&amp;reg; or AMD&amp;reg; processor 1.0 GHz or greater.&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;4 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Hard Disk&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;9 GB free disk space (which includes the 5.6 GB install footprint for a complete installation)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Video&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, Bentley Substation attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; check box. &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;The&lt;em lang="en"&gt; Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications&lt;/em&gt; are automatically downloaded and installed to your workstation while you install Bentley Substation. The contents of the &lt;em lang="en"&gt;Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications &lt;/em&gt;include:
&lt;ul class="ul" id="GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438__UL_5FE725833DD24D4FABB5A08B0E713CF2"&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Microsoft Internet Explorer, minimum v8.0, recommended v9.0 or later, with 128-bit cipher strength is also required. It is &lt;em lang="en"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; installed as part of the product pre-requisites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Copyrights in all components are owned by Microsoft Corporation or one of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or licensors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table class="table" id="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" frame="border" rules="all"&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;4 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Hard Disk&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;9 GB free disk space (which includes the 5.6 GB install footprint for a complete installation)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Video&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, Bentley Substation attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; check box. &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The&lt;strong&gt; Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt; is used to expose properties in i-models as an ODBC data source. It offers direct access of i-models from ODBC-compatible third-party applications such as Microsoft Office, reporting systems, and Business Intelligence applications. It allows application developers to use familiar tools to access and present i-model data from databases. When the driver is installed, the &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver User Manual&lt;/strong&gt; (Bentley_i-model_ODBC_Driver_User_Manual.pdf) is also installed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;The&lt;em lang="en"&gt; Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications&lt;/em&gt; are automatically downloaded and installed to your workstation while you install Bentley Substation. The contents of the &lt;em lang="en"&gt;Prerequisites for Bentley Desktop Applications &lt;/em&gt;include:
&lt;ul class="ul" id="GUID-637B20A8-F57B-4FD0-9B4E-628574844438__UL_5FE725833DD24D4FABB5A08B0E713CF2"&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Microsoft Internet Explorer, minimum v8.0, recommended v9.0 or later, with 128-bit cipher strength is also required. It is &lt;em lang="en"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; installed as part of the product pre-requisites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;Copyrights in all components are owned by Microsoft Corporation or one of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or licensors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Minimum Profile&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="p"&gt;The minimum recommended workstation profile for running &lt;span class="ph"&gt;Bentley Substation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="ph"&gt;&lt;span class="ph"&gt;CONNECT Edition&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;
&lt;table class="table" id="GUID-C9FE46D0-F5F4-4A2B-9981-E91A75B91D47__TABLE_AA8D427EB9254E6F8B13BE6E82984782" border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" frame="border" rules="all"&gt;

&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Processor&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;Intel&amp;reg; or AMD&amp;reg; processor 1.0 GHz or greater.&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Memory&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;4 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended. More memory almost always improves performance, particularly when working with larger models.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Hard Disk&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;9 GB free disk space (which includes the 5.6 GB install footprint for a complete installation)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Video&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, Bentley Substation attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted. &lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr class="row"&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" align="right" valign="top"&gt;Screen Resolution&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="entry" valign="top"&gt;1024 x 768 or higher.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 class="tablenoborder"&gt;Before You Start&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When installing or uninstalling this product, you must be logged on with Administrator rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;It is highly recommended that you close any programs and disable any antivirus software that is running prior to the installation of this software. Be sure to turn on your antivirus software when you are finished.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; is designed so it can be installed and safely coexist on the same workstation as an existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; commercial release. It will not attempt to upgrade or uninstall the existing commercial release, and by default it installs its program and configuration files to different locations than the other commercial release. When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, it creates the registry entries responsible for file associations. If you do not want this to happen, during installation, in the &lt;strong&gt;Select Features to install&lt;/strong&gt; list, clear the &lt;strong&gt;File Association&lt;/strong&gt; check box. &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; also creates the registry keys for VBA-initiated launching. Windows architecture allows for only one program to own these registry keys and the existing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; Commercial Release should continue to function normally by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;If you installed &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; on the same workstation and then uninstalled &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation V8i&lt;/strong&gt;, you must run the &lt;strong&gt;Repair&lt;/strong&gt; tool to make sure the registry and file associations are correct. Note: If you used Microsoft&amp;#39;s program to uninstall, the Repair tool will work correctly. However, if you used a third-party&amp;#39;s product to uninstall, it may have removed files needed by Bentley Substation. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; will not install if any technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release of &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt; already exists on the machine. You will have to uninstall the technology preview (&amp;quot;beta&amp;quot;) release before installing Bentley Substation. You should always back up your data prior to installation.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;When you install &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, the following applications are installed with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Product Documentation&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Example WorkSpace&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visualization Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTION Client&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley Dgn Index Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview &lt;/strong&gt;handler&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer 1.6&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;x64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;Visualization content in the form of ready-to-render cell libraries is selected to install by default.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Reader for Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt; is an application that can be downloaded from &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bentley iWare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; section on &lt;a href="http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/" target="_BLANK"&gt;http://www.bentley.com/en-us/free+software/&lt;/a&gt;. When you install this application on your system, the following applications are installed along with it:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt; is required to correctly view DGN thumbnails on the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. Immediately after installing &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, you still may not see the correct thumbnails for DGN files. This will be corrected by rebooting or re-logging onto the system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;The&lt;strong&gt; Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt; is used to expose properties in i-models as an ODBC data source. It offers direct access of i-models from ODBC-compatible third-party applications such as Microsoft Office, reporting systems, and Business Intelligence applications. It allows application developers to use familiar tools to access and present i-model data from databases. When the driver is installed, the &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver User Manual&lt;/strong&gt; (Bentley_i-model_ODBC_Driver_User_Manual.pdf) is also installed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;div class="tablenoborder"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN IFilter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Thumbnail Provider&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DGN Indexer,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;HDR Preview Handler&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Bentley i-model ODBC Driver&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Bentley DgnDb i-model Importer&lt;/strong&gt; are installed as separate applications. When you uninstall &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, these applications are not removed. If you do not need them, you will have to uninstall them separately.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
