Starting with Revit 2021, Revit content has been broken into many pieces to support the following:
While each full installation of Revit includes both the Base content and essentially content, there scenarios in with an office may not use some of the language content or prefer to have all content stored in a common location. In environments where essential content is not desired, it can be removed from the deployment image by modifying the app.RVT.xml and deleting the installation files from the deployment image.
Example: Revit deployment image named Revit2021-custom has been downloaded and I want to remove the Essential US English Content from the deployment image.Stop Autodesk Desktop Application from installing with Revit.
Browse to image\{GUID}\manifest folder within the Revit2021-custom deployment image location.
Edit app.RVT.xml
Save and close app.RVT.xml
WARNING: Modifying the installer xml files may cause the deployment installation to fail.
WARNING: Removing files or folders referenced within installer xml files may cause the installation to fail.
WARNING: Removing core components from app.RVT.xml may result in functionality errors within Revit.
