Dynamo player not showing up in 2018.1

[Anonymous]

Hi,
when I press Dynamo Player in Manage tab, Revit thinks a litlle and then Dynamo player icon goes gray, but Dynamo player itself is not showing up.
How to make it work?
Using Revit 2018.1 and Dynamo 1.3.1

I would suggest a repair or reinstall of the Dynamo player (Dymano Revit 2018 1.3.1) from your control panel.

I would believe there is something wrong with the default paths.

Hi Erense,
reinstall did not solved the problem.

Dear Jub,

How did you do the new installation of Revit? It is important to execute a clean installation (which includes to delete manually some temp/ cache revit files + edit registry). Please make sure to follow these instructions at the reinstall: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/2...

Hi Orsolya.Balazs,

Hi There,

I am experiencing the exact same issue,

When I click on the Dynamo Player button it becomes grey but the player doesn't pop up,

Following some investigation I found that the player software does launch as it is visible within the task manager under "Processes" and "Details"

When I close the Dynamo Player from within the Task manager by right clicking and selecting End Task the Dynamo Player button within Revit returns to before it was clicked,

I was struggling with the same problem as OP. The way I "solved" it was by hovering over the Dynamo window on the task bar, right clicking and selecting maximize. That made it pop up.

I just ran across the same problem with Dynamo Player (v1.3.3) not showing up in Revit 2017.2. Found a solution in the Dynamo Forum posted by user Thomasbsmits (link to post). I'll re-post his solution here:

"You can get the Player working again after deleting the following file “dynamoplayerinstance 1”. Its located here: C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Local\dynamoplayer\User data

Use your own user id."
