Problem

After installing an OpenFlows product, when I double-click the Desktop Shortcut icon or the product icon under Start > Bentley, nothing happens.  The product does not launch.

Solution

If the product will not launch, right-click on the program's executable file (C:\Program Files(x86)\Bentley\WaterGEMS\WaterGEMS.exe for WaterGEMS) and look at the Properties dialog.  There should be a "Compatibility" tab and in that tab, set Compatibility Mode to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Then launch the program again and see if it will run in Windows 7 or Windows 8 Compatibility Mode.

If it still does not launch, please open a Service Request with Support with the Service Request Manager
