Give the system time. In the event the installation stops a warning / error will be presented. Just follow the prompts and be patient. Highly recommended that all applications are closed during the installation process. On average it will take 6-8 min to install everything.

      Unhandled Exception Error number 0x80040707:

If you're getting this error message as part of an installation or upgrade routine, here's one of the easiest ways to circumvent the problem:

• • • Go to the directory that holds the file for launching the installation 
      (for example, C:\Downloads\Bentley\ap09060015en.exe).
    • Right-click on the installation file and select “Run As Administrator”.
    • Uncheck the box that says “Protect My Computer And Data From Unauthorized Activity”, and click OK button.
    • Alternatively, if you're running this installation from a CD, you may need to simply clean the CD and try the installation again.
    • Another possibility for resolving this error is to run Windows Update on the system before running the installation routine. Reference: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100‐10878_11‐5252325.html
