RE: [CONNECT] Delivering an Application

I may have missed your API or scripting context, but here are two approaches that may help illustrate or help you achieve the goal:

MDL API (take a look at: ..\examples\IPCs\IPCNativeExample\IPCNativeExample.cpp+37)

...

int PublishFileWithMicroStation ()
    {
    // Modify the below path and filename to one that you want to publish
    string seedFile = "c:\\test.dgn";
    Bentley::WString seedPath(seedFile.c_str());
    if (!FileExists(seedPath.c_str()))
        {
        cout << "Seed file " << seedFile << " does not exist. Use an existing dgn file." << endl;
        return 0;
        }ConnectionManager *cm = ConnectionManager::GetManagerObj();

    // Find out how many registered engines there are
    int count = cm->DiscoverEngines();
    cout << "Number of engines found: " << count << endl;

...

Scripting(e.g I use this to locate and use the most recent version of MicroStation and MicroStation SDK on my computer):

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('PowerShell -c "gp -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Where {$_.Publisher -match """Bentley.*""" } | Where {$_.DisplayName -match """.*MicroStation """} | Where {$_.DisplayName -notlike """*PowerDraft*"""} | Where {$_.SystemComponent -match """1"""} | Sort-Object DisplayVersion | select -last 1 | select InstallLocation | ft -HideTableHeaders -AutoSize"') do set MS=%%~saMicroStation\
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('PowerShell -c "gp -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Where {$_.Publisher -match """Bentley.*""" } | Where {$_.DisplayName -match """MicroStation.*SDK.*""" } | Sort-Object DisplayVersion | select -last 1 | select InstallLocation | ft -HideTableHeaders -AutoSize"') do set MSMDE=%%~sa

HTH,
