MicroStation - Failed to copy payload error

Problem

During the installation of MicroStation, the message "Failed to copy payload” error appears and the installation cannot be completed.

Solution

Option 1

The Pay load errors are often download related. Perhaps some components were not downloaded correctly.

Try to remove MicroStation by using the Windows Troubleshooter:

Next, create a Deployment image to download and install all MicroStation components:

Remember to run the file microstation.exe as administrator.

Option 2

Create a log file
The file vc_redist.x64.exe is in two different locations and it does not match.
C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\vc_redist.x64.exe
C:\BentleyDownloads\OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition\vc_redist.x64.exe
This usually happens when you have an old download. Remove old downloads.
Delete one of them and also clean out the folder
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp

Option 3

Create a new Windows system environment variable BeIFUseInternalResolver and set its value to 1.

BeIFUseInternalResolver = 1

Open the System> Advanced system settings> System Properties dialog from the Control Panel.

Create a new variable from the Advanced tab> Environment Variables> New button.

After creating the system environment variable, reattempt the MicroStation installation.
