To Install ProjectWise Caching Server

Download ProjectWise Server Setups (https://softwaredownloads.bentley.com/en/ProductDetails/2547) and run the installer (Setup_ProjectWise_Serverx64_<version>.exe).
When the installer opens, accept the license agreement, change the installation location if needed (if possible), and click Next.

The default installation location is C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise.

Note: The option to change the installation location will not display if another application from this release is already installed to that location.
On the Server server type page, select ProjectWise Caching Server and click Next.
On the Select feature to install page, click Next.
On the Select Storage Location page, specify the physical location on this computer (either manually enter the folder path or browse for the folder you want) under which storage areas hosted by this server can be created, then click Next.

The location you specify is added to this server's DMSKRNL.CFG file under the section labeled, "Section defines allowable locations for storage areas". For example:
```
; -------------------------------------------------------------
; Section defines allowable locations for storage areas
; -------------------------------------------------------------

[FileStorageService]
StorageLocation0=E:\pwstorage
```
When you eventually create your storage areas for this server in ProjectWise Administrator, you will only be able to create a storage area if the location you select is somewhere within the allowable storage location.

Tip: You can only add one local storage location through the installer, but you can manually edit the DMSKRNL.CFG file after installation if needed to add additional local and/or remote storage locations for this server.
On the Allowed File Access Token Servers page, (recommended) define the list of allowed file access token servers and click Next.
Note: This field is used to specify which ProjectWise Intergation Servers the ProjectWise Caching Server is allowed to accept file access tokens from, when a user tries to access a file that exists in a storage area that is being managed by the ProjectWise Caching Server. The servers you specify here are added to the FileAccessTokenServers setting in the DMSKRNL.CFG file. You can skip this page now and manually add the required servers to the DMSKRNL.CFG file after installation, but either way you MUST configure this setting if this ProjectWise Caching Server is going to manage storage areas.
On the Select Secure Connection Options page, Run the server in secure mode is pre-selected and cannot be change. Click the browse button (...) to select a certificate or leave the certificate field empty to use the hostname of the computer, then click Next.
On the Pre-installation summary page, review your selections, make any last minute changes if necessary, then click Install.
When installation is complete, click Finish.
When the Bentley Login Client window opens, sign in with your Bentley IMS account.
After installation, manually start the ProjectWise Caching Server in the Services window.

Note: Installation automatically adds the ProjectWise server engine (DMSKRNL.EXE) to the Windows Defender Firewall list of allowed apps and features on this computer.
