This article covers the process for establishing a network workspace for MicroStation CONNECT. It also explains the procedure for using the network configuration for all subsequent installations of MicroStation CONNECT
Rules to follow
1. Do not edit any of the configuration files in the program directory structure. This included MSLOCAL.cfg, MSDIR.cfg and MSCONFIG.cfg (see the post on “The CONNECT Configuration”) http://communities.bentley.com/other/old_site_member_blogs/bentley_employees/b/tim_hickmans_blog/archive/2015/09/01/the-connect-configuration
2. In the Installation Wizard, in the “Configuration” dialog box, the settings “Network Configuration” is intended to be used to select an existing Organization directory. It is not install files to this location.
Creating the networked configuration
1. Create the folder on your network where the Custom Configuration will be located. This will be an empty folder for now.
2. Install MicroStation and in the Configuration dialog box, select the option "Custom Configuration (plus Delivered Configuration)".
3. In the Configuration dialog box, set the "Network Configuration" to the empty folder that you created in step 1 above. The folder does not need to contain anything for the installation to succeed. The installer does not create any files or folders in this location.
4. After the installation is complete, copy the contents of the “Configuration” folder (C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\), including all subfolders and all files, to the network folder you created in step 1 and you specified in step 3 above.
The network workspace is now established for your installation of MicroStation CONNECT.
Procedure to install using an existing networked configuration.
1. Run the MicroStation CONNECT installation executable
2. In the Configuration dialog box, select the option "Custom Configuration (plus Delivered Configuration)".
3. In the Configuration dialog box, set the "Network Configuration" to the network folder that you placed your configuration in when previously creating the network configuration.
4. Select the “Next” button and continue on with the installation.
