In Standalone, ProjectWise integration is enabled using an xml file. The default xml file is located at the following locations:

For Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bentley\<appname>\8\ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml

For Windows Vista/7: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\<appname>\8\ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml

This file applies to all users. If the ProjectWise configuration varies among users on the same machine, a user specific version of the file can be copied into the following directory, which if present will override the file from the All Users directory.

For Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Bentley\<appname>\8\ ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml

For Windows Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Bentley\<appname>\8\ ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml

The file must be edited manually to change the configuration. The xml file has two entries.

PWDIR/PWDIR64: Set either of them to point to the local directory where a compatible ProjectWise Explorer is installed. If the directory is not set or is invalid then ProjectWise integration is considered to be disabled.

UseCaptiveEnvironment: This flag can be set to true or false.
