Options and Parameters for the Revit Installation Command Line

When performing a stand-alone installation of Revit from the command line, you can use options and parameters with the installation command.

The command line options can also be used when installing Revit add-ins (using an EXE file) that use the Autodesk install framework.

Command line options for setup.exe
Option Description
/t Install from the command line or using a script.
/q Perform a silent installation, with no user interface.
/qb Perform the installation with a minimal user interface (the progress bar and a Cancel button). Users can cancel the installation, but no user interaction is required to complete the installation.
/w Wait for the installation to complete (blocking). Use this option when calling setup.exe multiple times in sequence in a script, with System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), or with other enterprise deployment products.
/c Pass the command line to an installer. This option corresponds to a section label in the setup.ini file.
Note: Place a colon immediately after the value of this option. See the examples.
/language Set the IETF language code for the products to be installed. (IETF is the Internet Engineering Task Force.)
/r Remove (uninstall) the product. Must be combined with /p.
/p Product GUID (globally unique identifier), which is specified at the start of the setup.ini file.
