How to find out if and where a certain Revit version is installed!

renedekruijf — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 08:23:13 GMT

We are building plug-ins for Revit (2016 up to 2020). To be able to install our product as smooth as possible, I need to find out if a certain Revit version is installed and if it is, where this Version is installed. Based on this information I can install our plug-in without user-input.

Can someone tell me where this information on a Windows machine is installed? Registry maybe?

Yesterday, something similar posted in this forum. Here is the link.

Build Add-In for Multiple Revit Version

I hope this helps,

Recep.

Sorry, but this is not where I am looking for. I just want to know if a certain version of Revit is installed and if so, where can I get this information on a Windows system. E.g. Navisworks put’s this info in the registry.
