One installation package for multiple versions of Revit

[SONA-ARCHITECTURE]

Hi everybody,

I'm using Visual Studio to developp my apps.

What is the recommanded procedure to create an installation package for my plugin and install it for different versions of Revit?

At the moment, I'm using WixToolSet to create multiple setup, each one for each version of Revit and I'd like to make only one package...

Thx

I have been using the AppBundle that is used in the Autodesk App Store.

• AppBundle: Autodesk Products

Here are some similar forum subjects:

Hi Luiz,
Thx for your answer.
Does the AppBundle solution is suitable for non-commercial use? Just for our company?

Yes, is just a standard folder for all Autodesk applications, everything is compact inside a folder, so is really easy to create a installer/uninstall.

Or even an auto updater:

Here is some info about the PackageContents.xml that is good to know.

An automation creates the file for me every time the project is build to release. Here is the library that handles that.
