Installation

This procedure describes how to setup and install Model Review on a single machine.

1. Make sure all Revit sessions are closed on the computer.

2. Extract the .msi from the downloaded .zip file to an accessible location (ex. c:/temp).

3. Install by double clicking on the .msi.

When successfully installed, the Model Review panel is displayed on the Add-Ins tab in the ribbon.

Explained

Msiexec - Windows ® Installer.

/i - Installs or configures a product

"\\EnterYourServerPathHere\AutodeskRevitModelReview2013.msi" - The location of the product (make sure users have access to this location).

/qr - Reduced UI

Other parameters which can be used to perform the silent install are:

msiexec /i <Product.msi> /quiet (Quiet mode, no user interaction)

msiexec /i <Product.msi> /passive (Unattended mode - progress bar only)

msiexec /i <Product.msi> /qn (No UI)

msiexec /i <Product.msi> /qb (Basic UI)

msiexec /i <Product.msi> /qr (Reduced UI)

If you want to change the install path without using the default path, you can set it in the command line:

msiexec /i "\\EnterYourServerPathHere\AutodeskRevitModelReview2013.msi" /qr TARGETDIR="D:\Your Install Path\"

More switches can be found by typing the following in a console:

msiexec /?
