Question:
Can GEOPAK SS2 and SS3 be installed on the same machine?
Answer:
Yes, with the following recommendations:
- Access the softwares using their respective icons (with either the "-wsLoad_GEOPAK_SS2=1" or "-wsLoad_GEOPAK_SS3=1" set). If this switch had previously been set with a CFG file at the system level, it will have to be removed and set on the icons.
- Use separate MicroStation preferences (username & projectname) while using GEOPAK SS2 & GEOPAK SS3.
- Keep SS2 and SS3 datasets separate between the two versions.
- In order to run certain VBA based commands, it may be necessary to re-run the 'geopakcom' file in the version of software you are running. For example, before running an SS2 VBA command, execute the "geopakcom.exe" file located in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\GEOPAK\V8.11\bin" folder. Then, when switching to run a VBA command in SS3, run the "geopakcom.exe" file in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\GEOPAK\GEOPAK (SELECTseries 3)\bin" folder.
