Installation and configuration
Before you install Autodesk Revit 2020, close all applications.
Supported Operating Systems
Revit 2020 installations are blocked on systems running older versions of Windows 10 (Version 1507/Build 10240 and Version 1511/Build 10586) that do not support Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7. If you are running one of these versions of Windows 10, you'll need to upgrade to a newer version before installing Revit 2020.
Revit 2020 installations are blocked on systems running Windows 8 or 8.1.
Install or uninstall may fail if content is on a shared network location using a mapped drive
When installing or uninstalling, the procedure may fail if content had been redirected to a shared network location using a mapped drive. To prevent this error set the User Access Control in the Windows Control Panel to Never Notify.
Custom folder in deployments
In the Autodesk Revit 2020 Deployment Wizard, the Path for Configurable Folders allows you to specify a custom folder in which to copy content files. If you specify a folder location that has Read Only permission at the user level according to the Microsoft Windows User Access Control, then Autodesk Revit may become unstable. To avoid this, ensure that you have Write permission on your Microsoft Windows machine when creating your deployment with the Custom Folder option.
Roaming profiles in a networked environment
It is recommended that Autodesk Revit is installed from the same deployment when installing to multiple computers in a networked environment. This ensures each user's roaming profile is properly initialized when the user logs into different servers.
If a non-deployment install is utilized to configure multiple servers, each user's roaming profile settings are restored to the default values as the user logs into different servers. To resolve this, use these steps:
2. Copy the InstallGUID value. For example: InstallGUID={AC00A40D-0386-400C-82DC-86818C5027F6}
3. On each of the other servers in the network, locate the Revit.ini file and replace the InstallGUID value with the value copied from the first server.
The first task you need to complete is to make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. If your system does not meet these requirements, problems can occur, both within Autodesk Revit and at the operating system level.
Refer to the hardware and software requirements.
