Revit 2022 Silent Install with licensing info

Hi folks --

 

Like so many others, I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around the new installers.  I have network licenses for Revit 2022, which isn't showing up in my list for creating a custom installer, so I assume I have to use the old way of downloading the installer manually to create the install package.  However, the new installer doesn't give the option to create an administrative image.  Instead, I found instructions for a silent install for Revit 2022, which is basically just to run "setup.exe -q".  That "works" to install it, but I can't figure out how to apply the licensing info.  The environment variable (ADSK_FLEX_LICENSEFILE) is set to the correct port@server, and works for all the rest of the older Autodesk products installed.  The silent installer completes without issue, but then on first launch, comes up asking for license info.  If I choose Network license, and put in the port@server, it then launches fine as expected.  I tried to copy a few files from a working install ...

Am I missing something?  Should Revit be available in the new custom installer web interface, and it just didn't get wired up to my account properly?

This allows you to change the license method / license data after installation.

This worked!  Not sure why, but I had to add a 60 second wait, then run that, then another 60 second wait, and then run it again (after waiting for setup.exe -q to complete).  I'm still pretty sure it's not the "correct" way, but until Autodesk can settle on a single installation method that works reliably, at least this gets the application on my lab computers and sets the licensing info correctly.

Thanks for pointing it out!
