Installation of gINT

I need to install gINT on a PC.  What is the procedure?

Step-by-step guide

We will assume you have a normal commercial license for gINT.

  1. Download the current recommended release of gINT and gINT Civil Tools from https://softwaredownloads.bentley.com/ and log-in using your Bentley Select Username and password, for detailed instructions see How to download gINT from Bentley Website. If you hold a license for gINT Pro, then download gINT Civil Tools Professional (gct########en.exe), or if you have a license for gINT Pro Plus download gINT Civil Tools Pro Plus (gctp########en.exe). If you have a license for gINT Logs, do not download gINT Civil Tools.

  2. Install gINT. 
    1. Ensure you are logged in as a local administrator, or have local administrator credentials ready to use.  Run the file gint########en.exe.
    2. When the Custom Setup install wizard form appears, generally you should set "gINT Standard User Files" to "Entire feature will be unavailable".  This will eliminate the confusion caused by accidentally opening a standard library or data template instead of your company's existing custom files that are probably stored on a file server.  If your company is new to gINT and didn't buy the DGD Tool, select the localized gINT files closes to your needs, or contact Datgel to buy the DGD Tool.
    3. Select the gINT product you are licensed for (Logs, Professional or Professional Plus). If you pick the wrong gINT product, you will get QTL invoices for the excess use!
  3. Run gINT by double-clicking on the desktop shortcut.  First ensure you are logged into the Bentley Connection Client (program in system tray).  If you don't have a Bentley Systems login, then register one using your company email.  You may need to discuss this with your in-house Bentley Site Administrator.
  4. Open the Library, be it a company-specific file such as “<your company name> #.## lib.glb”, or open a standard library located in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Bentley\gINT\libraries"
  5. Open the project, be it a company-specific file such as “<your company name> #.##.gpj", or standard project in "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Bentley\gINT\PROJECTS"
  6. Open gINT and look in the Help > About gINT menu item. It should now show an active license.
  7. You can change gINT product levels by selecting the other level from the Help menu, e.g. Help > Launch gINT Logs.
  8. Set the System properties up, see What are the recommended system properties?.
  9. If you hold a license for gINT Pro or gINT Pro Plus, run the gINT Civil Tools Installer, and activate the license in a similar way.  See Microsoft Access database engine.
