Problem

With the amount of complicated programs that you find on today's computer systems, sometimes an update - or the installation of new software - can impact on how existing software functions. When this happens, it may be necessary to re-install an existing software item to overcome the problem. This document demonstrates the best practices for a clean installation of Bentley Hevacomp.

Solution

Before performing the methods described, ensure you are logged onto your computer through an administrator account and you have UAC turned off.

1] From the Control Panel, select Uninstall a program

2] From the list of available programs, uninstall all components that reference Bentley Hevacomp or Hevacomp. Note that you can leave Crystal Reports extant.

If you have been asked to re-install the software rather then perform a
clean re-installation, then step 3 is optional

3] Now delete the installation folders. In most cases these will be located at:

For 64bit computers; C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\Hevacomp V8i

For 32bit computers; C:\Program Files\Bentley\Hevacomp V8i

And on all computers; C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Hevacomp V8i

4] Reboot the computer.

5] Ensure you have all the latest components for the new installation.
