REVIT WON'T INSTALL

I SPENT MOST OF THE DAY TRYING TO INSTALL REVIT TO NO AVAIL.


IT HANGS UP AT PREPARING REVIT CONTENT.

 

I SCANNED THE WEB AND TRIED THE FIXES LIKE: DISABLE FIREWALL AND ANTIVIRUS, DEL ALL THE MS C++ FILES, INSTALL IN ADMINISTATOR MODE.

 

I READ WHERE YOU LET IT GO FOR UP TO 8 HOURS BUT NOW I AM AT 5 AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AND WILL LET IT GO OVERNIGHT TO BE SURE.

 

IF I CANCEL OUT OF THE HANG AND TRY TO REINSTALL IT SAYS INSTALLATION FAILED ERROR 1618 OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO THAT (FROM MEMORY) AND AN ON-LINE SOLUTION WAS TO DEL THE MS C++ FILES BUT THAT DID NOT WORK.

 

I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT.

 

THANKS, ALEX

Alex,

 

Revit Content is being downloaded when you see the Preparing Revit Content, best thing to do is just to let it run it will finish the download.

Thanks,

Danny

Danny is right. I have seen this install sometimes take overnight to finish.  Just wait it out and you'll probably be fine.

i had read that and let it go from 5pm until 7am the next day and nothing happened.

when i did a system resourse usage scan the cpu was being utilized 2-4%

if there are cases where it takes more than 14 hours i can let it go.

It all depends on your internet speed and usage during the install process.

One other thing you might check out that was referenced in the first link I included is.

that was the fist link i tried. I had high speed dsl.

in the link you mentioned they put *autodesk.com which is not accepted in my version of windows 7. i had to put https://*.autodesk.com which i think would be a linux syntax. I tried to add https://autodesk.com and it siad it was already added.  if the site is asp then maybe i should remove it and put https://autodesk.com

Hi Danny,below are the error messages i am getting. one other think is i get an autodesk 360 sync error from time to time on my c3d installation. i have tried several things I found on the web and so far none have worked. maybe the below errors can point out a fix.

Error 1618 is an odd one because it means that it thinks another installation is running.  You might reboot.  Then update your installer if possible.  Then reboot again and try to install.  Make sure there isn't any other Windows Updates, driver updates, automatic program updates like Adobe, Java, etc. running and installing itself.

by update installer is that a file different from the revit download?

i redownloaded reveit and it appears to be hanging again. if the preparing revit content is slow and takes a long time will the progress bar move slowly? or only move after that pahse is done?

 

after reboot, before i do the install if i go to task manager and stop proceeces and services... i could kill the adobe stuff but i am not sure what windows update looks like. and maybe you know of some others.

 

 

thanks, alex

Alex,

 

By updating the installer, Travis is probably refering to the Microsoft Installer. The Revit setup.exe will update the installer if needed, so I wouldn't worry to much about this one.

When installing and it appears to hang at the Preparing Content, this is because it is downloading content in the background and depending on the content you choose to install and your internet connection this can take a long time.

Make sure things like the Adobe Updater, AntiVirus updates and Windows Update aren't trying to install updates before starting the Revit install, if these aren't running you should be able to install without any problems.

 

Thanks,

Danny

when installing i will see adobe and windows update messages in the lower right corner. i disabled them and now my cpu shows 14-16% activity where before it showed 2-4% activity. maybe it is working now and i will wait it out.

Sounds promising.  The Revit installer has known to take over 12 hours to complete in some instances, so have patience if it seems stuck.

Hi Danny, I recently went back to try and install revit (2013 student version) and per this thread unplugged my internet connection and it installed with no content. when it comes up there are no elevation views and no rte files.

I have tried diableing various things per instructions in this thread and did a file update install to put the content in.

the acad system service or process would show it working making disk writes but even after 2 days it would not finish.

I currently have the IDS premium subscription and do civil design work and would like to learn revit (outside my area of expertise) in my free time and eventually upgrade to IDS ultimate when i get it down and can produce a product with it.

Any more ideas on how to get it installed propperly would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, alex

fyi, finally solved the installation problem. in one of the threads where is says add *.autodesk to trusted sites you have to disable the wps option too which i found in another post.

How lame is it that the install can't just show a progress bar for the download...

 

Why don't we have the option anymore to download this content manually?

I can't get Revit to install on D disc. It keeps warning me that I don't have enough free space on C disc and when I select D disc, path just changes back to C disc. Any suggestions?

Your product is failing to install because the prerequiste program required by the installer is newer than the version being installed. Please uninstall the prerequisite program causing the issue and run your installer again.

For more information about this process, please see my KB link here:

Probably shouldn't have waited until the last minute for your homework!  Good Luck!
