revit 2017 or 2015 in windows 8.1

Anonymous — Fri, 10 Jun 2016 16:51:44 GMT

I can't install revit 2017 in my computer which has windows 8.1

I tried revit 2015 too but it gave the same problem

Antivirus is closed and my system is fast but I can't find why it didn't work

Could you please help me?

You would have to explain more.

What have you done?

At what point does it fail?

What kind of (error)messages are you getting?

Do you have a 64 bits system?

Do you have enough free space?

Other possible relevant information?

I selected revit, material library etc. and hit install. It just started to install but it failed immediately. I tried many times but faced that problem everytime. I have 64 bits system and I have a lot of free space, my laptop is new. Microsoft .NET framework is in use also. I really didn't understand and didn't find a problem like that in forums so I don't know what to do.

What do yoiu see when the installation fails?

Have a look if there is already a installation log (and upload them). In these file Revit logs what happens during installation..

Open explorer

Enter %TEMP%

Look for files with names that contain Revit and ending on .log, something similar like "Autodesk_Revit_2017-x64_SP1.log"

I turned on off the computer than tried again and finally installed revit 2015. I still don't know the problem but anyway it installed some how. But when I open revit, in the start page, selecting projects > new > template file there is only none. When I browse there is no "architectural template". Where can I find it or is it something broken?

It sounds like when you did the program install that you may have unchecked the content library perhaps? You'll need to download the template library and probably all other libraries. You should be able to follow the link that mpwuzhere linked to you and download it (don't skip any of the steps listed), I believe that's the way to go.

Is auto desk revit supports for windows 8.1?

And does 8bg ram is sufficient or not?

What about autocad and stadpro..?

Can anyone suggest a positive replay....!
