Revit 2022 - Disable "Hello There!" Prompt on First Run

[justinlowe]

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the Revit 2022 "Hello there!" prompt during installation? I would rather our users not see this.

Hello @justinlowe, 

Thank you for providing this feedback. The Revit product teams create Revit related install components and UI, so to receive the proper exposure I will move it over to the Revit board.

Since it is possible to make it not show again it is most probably possible to solve by figuring out where this setting is saved, possibly in the registry, and then write to the registry right after the install.

You need to have a file in the user's %APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\Profile folder named Profile.xml that calls out your latest installed version of Revit.

I don't see a way to upload an xml file here. I'll try text:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<UserProfile xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <RevitVersion>2022</RevitVersion>
</UserProfile>

@dplumb_BWBR thanks for the Revit Forum link!

I coded a python script to check the user's Revit profile directory at login. If the profile XML does not exist it simply copies a local template over. See screenshot below.

Thanks again,

Justin
