Product(s):InRoads/GEOPAK
Version(s):08.11.09.878
Area: ProjectWise

Question:

When launching InRoads or GEOPAK in ProjectWise V10.00.02.265 using a managed workspace, user gets the error "Last Error [222] Cannot start application for the specified document.  Check your program association.  Failed to generate managed workspace configuration file.  can't open macro file [C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files/Bentley Shared/Civil Platform/08.11.09/Bentley Civil Assembly Location MS - Required.2.0.cfg],[C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\MicroStation\config\appl\geopak.3.1.cfg, line 24"

Explanation:

This error is caused because ProjectWise CONNECT V10.00.02.265 is resolving the variable "$(CommonProgramFiles)" to the C:\Program Files\Common Files folder (since it is a 64 application) instead of the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files which is required by the 32 bit InRoads and GEOPAK SS2*/SS3*/SS4 products.

GEOPAK Solution:

To resolve the problem for GEOPAK, complete one of the two:

*GEOPAK SS3 users should edit the geopak.3.0.cfg.

InRoads Solution:

To resolve the problem for InRoads SS4, complete one of the two:

*InRoads SS3 users should edit the inroads.3.0.cfg. InRoads SS2 users should edit the InRoadsAT.cfg. Note that the file path name for INROADS_PATH will be different for SS3 and SS2.
