To Install ProjectWise Explorer

  1. Double-click the Setup_ProjectWise_Explorerx64_10.00.03.4xx.exe file.

    The ProjectWise Explorer installer opens.

  2. Accept the license agreement, change the installation locations if needed (if possible), and click Next.

    The ProjectWise Explorer installer delivers both 64-bit and 32-bit components.

    The default installation location for the 32-bit components is C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\ProjectWise.

    The default installation location for the 64-bit components is C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise.

    The option to change the installation location is hidden if another application from this release is already installed.

    The Select feature to install page opens.

    The following features can be installed:

    • ProjectWise Explorer
      • ProjectWise Explorer and Tools
        • ProjectWise 64-bit components
        • ProjectWise Explorer
          • Bentley Viewing, Printing and Markup

          • Project Forms Preview Tab
          • PDF Markup Service Integration
          • Get HTTPS Link
        • iDesktop Integration

          Expand this feature and look at the items listed. The applications listed (if any) are the installed applications (such as MicroStation, AutoCAD, Revit, Microsoft Office) for which iDesktop Integration can be installed. This feature also includes the following:

          • Bentley Application Base Integration - required for integration with MicroStation and MicroStation PowerDraft, as well as other MicroStation-based applications such as InRoads and OpenBuildings Designer.
          • Bentley Application Base Integration (x64)
          Note: The Bentley MicroStation integration option is only available for pre-CONNECT Edition versions of MicroStation and MicroStation PowerDraft. This option does not appear at all when CONNECT Edition versions of MicroStation or MicroStation PowerDraft are installed, because they deliver their own integration. If pre-CONNECT Edition versions of both MicroStation and MicroStation PowerDraft are installed, then installing this option installs integration support for both applications.
