Overview

The ProjectWise File Transfer control is an active X installation used by the ProjectWise WEL and WebParts client to download, copy out, or export files. The first time you attempt to checkout, copy out, or download a file, you will be prompted to install this program.

Due to security restrictions it may be necessary to manually install the ProjectWise File Transfer control.

For ProjectWise 2004 Edition and XM Edition

Installation Prerequisites:

• The user must have rights to run REGSVR32.exe (located in %SystemRoot%\system32 directory) and have permissions to write to the registry.
• The user must have rights to write to the %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\ProjectWise
• Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 or higher.
• MSXML 3.0 or higher.

Manual Installation:

• From the ProjectWise Web Server, extract the contents of C:\Program Files\Bentley\Projectwise\WebServer\webapps\WEL\gfx\install\PWFileTransfer.cab to a directory on the client machine. Note: If you require a localized version of the control then extract the PWFileTransfer<locale>.cab file.
• Copy PWFileTransfer.dll, PR FileTransferRsrc.dll, saaxfile.dll, sawebclnt.dll and saxfile.dll to the desired installation directory.
• Register the required DLLs by opening a command prompt and running
  • regsvr32 PWFileTransfer.dll
  • regsvr32 saaxfile.dll
  • regsvr32 sawebclnt.dll
  • regsvr32 Saxfile.dll

Note: running regsvr32 with a /s option runs the registration process in silent mode.

Manual Removal:

• Unregistered the required DLLs by running:
  • regsvr32 PWFileTransfer.dll /u
  • regsvr32 saaxfile.dll /u
  • regsvr32 sawebclnt.dll /u
  • regsvr32 Saxfile.dll /u
• Remove the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bentley\Projectwise Web Explorer Lite" registry key.
• Delete the %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\ProjectWise\*.dat files.

For ProjectWise V8i

Manual install

• On the server go to C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise\Web\resources\Installs
• Copy all the files to a folder on the client machine
• Open up the RegisterDLLs.bat and edit out any programs you do not want to install
• I would recommend installing all programs.
• Run the RegisterDLLs.bat file, and it will install and register the dlls.

Manual Uninstall

• Open Internet Explorer
• Go to Tools > Internet Options
• On the General tab, under Browsing History click on Settings
• In the Temporary Internet files and history settings dialog click on View Objects
• Find and highlight the PWWebFileTransfer Control.
• Right click on the PWWebFileTransfer Control and choose Remove.

For ProjectWise V8i SELECTseries 3

Manual install

When manually installing the ActiveX controls, you need to launch these two installers:
• ProjectWise Web and Web View Servers V8i (SELECTseries 3) ClientComponents.msi — this installs the ProjectWise Web File Transfer ActiveX Control, the VPR ActiveX Control, and the Spatial ActiveX Control
• DgnECViewControlAx.msi— this installs the Bentley DGN ActiveX Control.

These installers are delivered with ProjectWise Server Setups, but are not listed when you launch on the master setup.exe installer. Instead, you will find them in the ...\product\pwwebserver folder.  For example:  C:\BentleyDownloads\pwsrv08110991en\pwwebserver
