Revit 2021 install parameters

[Th.Mueller1]

Hello everybody,

we bought a brand new version of revit 2021 and wand to build a software package for it. Now I have a little problem with the install parameters. According to this FAQ site: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/troubleshooting/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2021/... I used the parameters I want to use.

/t /q /w /language de-de /c RVT: INSTALLDIR="%PROGRAMFILES%\Autodesk" ADLM_EULA_COUNTRY=DE INSTALLLEVEL=5

In my opinon the installation should start silent and set the install path and eula and so on. But nothing happens. The installation starts, I have to accept the EULA select the install path and so on. I tryed it with powershell directly.

It seems that all parameters will be ignored. Someone has an idea? I use the setup.exe from the first folder.

Thank you 🙂

Hello @Th.Mueller1, 

Thanks for posting.

Our silent installations as of today have always required acceptance of the EULA & required an install path, these can not be silent.

I'm not positive that this will resolve this issue but I would suggest using /qb instead of /q for the quiet switch.

I've not yet played with the new Revit 2021 G1 R1 installation. But I suppose it uses the new AODIS installer which is completely different from the old installer.

The control is through different xml file where you configure the whole installation process.

There are a few information about the new installer available in the Maya online help

To call the installer silent you have to pass "--silent" (not yet tested, but see the Maya online help)

What I have tested with Maya is, that you can pass properties to all msi files and adapt everything through the xml control files.

Hey,

thanks for that. That worked 🙂

The uninstall from the maya also work but it will not uninstall all components. But this can we manage with the MSIEXEC /x command.

Thank you!

Acceptance of the EULA, does that mean that there is a popup for the user, or is that something we can accept from within the command line switches?
