The directory structure makes updates easier and reduces the likelihood of overwriting data when reinstalling the product.

By default, the destination directory for ConstructSim Planner is C:\Program Files\Bentley.

The directory that contains the WorkSpaces is installed to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\ConstructSim V8i.

Directory for User Data

The %LOCALAPPDATA%\Bentley\<product_name>\<product_version>\ directory provides a local storage location for some Bentley product-specific data that is unique to a user. The location of this directory is defined by the variable _USTN_HOMEROOT.

Note: It is highly recommended not to share user files between users or to access them on a network drive. Although multiple users can and will benefit from utilizing the same configuration over a network, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Bentley\<product_name>\<product_version>\ should reside on each local computer or workstation.
