ProjectWise Drive off by default during install

MicroStation 2024 have "ProjectWise Drive" option is ON by default in installer vizard. It needs to be "OFF" by default. User can turn it ON as required. Also, it should be considered in Silent Installation.

    FYI - If you create a deployment using the Run command and browsing to the installer and at the end add /layout i.e.


    C:\.........\......\Setup_MicroStationx64_24.00.02.062.exe /layout.

    Select the configure option top right , follow the steps to create the deployment.


    Once created it will create a LYT file in the deployment folder. edit this in notepad and look for : ProjectWiseDriveStub


    within the line there is an option selected=yes. change this to NO

    <Feature Id="ProjectWiseDriveStub" ReferenceId="" Selected="no" Optional="no" Display="yes" Expanded="no" EnableRepair="yes" CommandLineParameters="" UserAdded="no" IsPrimaryProduct="no" License="" IsCompanionProduct="no" IsCompanionFeature="yes" SecondarySequenceName="" FeatureDescription="" ChooseCCEdition="no" DisabledUnselectedMessage="">



    When you run the exe, it will no longer install the PW drive
