Revit 2020 content libraries install with command line

[Anonymous]

Hi guys

need to understand how can i correctly add content libraries like these : 

This example are from an manual install of 2018, but our goal for revit 2020 is the have the same by using a command line.

The command line we are investigation now is like this :

"Revit_2020_G1_Win_64bit_dlm\setup.exe /t /w /qb /language en-us /c RCL: CP_PREFERENCE=RVT-en-US-i CP_SELECTED="RVT-en-US-i;RVT-en-US-m"

not sure if it's because we install the core revit software before the content libraries or if we didn't have the right command parameter or values....the folder aren't there in the libraries folder...as we didn't have libraries folder......we also look at the documentation but didn't find something specific to our situation.

Is there someone that can help on this..or indicate any other documentation that lead up to succeed...installing these 4 content libraries.

Normally in a manual installation...we would check these options :

The label in the screenshot are in french...but i assume you can situate you.

Thank in advance for all your help

Take your time and if you have questions, let me know.

I love the installation packages from Autodesk, because you can adjust everything 🙂

Hi Markus,

just to be sure i do the right thing.

Is it important to complete the dummy installation to retrieve th MST files, or if after the file is available in the folder, we can copy it and cancel the dummy installation ?

I suppose we can cancel...but just for confirmation..i would ask for your recommandation on that

thank in advance

Yes you're right you can cancel just after it is created.

Hi Markus,

i'm currently testing my command line to install locally first and be sure eveything is correct. The content libraries work perfectly as your indications work. But a small issue this morning is the license server.

Here the command i used :

setup.exe /W /qb /language en-us /c RVT: INSTALLDIR="%PROGRAMFILES%\Autodesk" INSTALLLEVEL=5 ACADSTANDALONENETWORKTYPE="3" ACADLICENSESERVERTYPE="Single Server License" ACADLICENSETYPE="Network License" ACADSERVERPATH="XXXX@XXXX"

Where ACADSERVERPATH value is a valid autodesk license server. (work for autocad 2020)....

But when i look at the license detail in the about...the value is incorrect and not equal to what i pass as parameter...Instead there is other possible value that i try before....This was not a problem with autocad....i could let those value as by example our romanian user have their own license server near them...and american user have their...etc..etc

Is there anything to clear between multiple test on my computer..when i try to test install with different license server ?? Or there a error in my command structure.

I also try the ADSKlicense helper...but doesn't seem to help..with command like these

"%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Autodesk Shared\AdskLicensing\Current\helper\AdskLicensingInstHelper" change --prod_key 829L1 --prod_ver 2020.0.0.F --lic_server_type "SINGLE" --lic_method "NETWORK" --lic_servers "XXXX@AXXXX"

Any thougt on that?

thank in advance

I know that sometimes in the msi install packages are "special features". To analyse where something went wrong, check your MSI log files.

You pass the license information to the RVT.msi, so I would 1st check this log file.
