pyRevit Is Installed But Does Not Load

• Open a command prompt and run pyrevit attached

• Take a look the ==> Attachments section. It should look similar to this. It should show that master is attached to all your installed Revit versions. The report looks similar to this:

  ==> Attachments
  master | Product: "2020.1 Update" | Engine: IPY277 (277) | Path: "....."
  master | Product: "2019.2.2 Hotfix" | Engine: IPY277 (277) | Path: "....."
  

• If nothing is listed then run pyrevit clones and check to make sure master is listed as the installed clone

  ==> Registered Clones (full git repos)
  ==> Registered Clones (deployed from archive/image)
  master | Deploy: "basepublic" | Version: "4.8.5" | Path: "......"
  
  

• If it is listed, then run pyrevit attach master 2711 --installed and check again to make sure it is attached.

• If it is not listed, then find the installed pyRevit path (default is %APPDATA%/pyRevit-Master ) and manually register the master clone by running pyrevit clones add master <installed path>. Then check pyrevit clones to make sure it is registered. Now you can attach it using the command in previous step.

Installation still not working after serveral trys · Issue #1075 · eirannejad/pyRevit

Error dynamically compiling pyRevit runtime

What seems to work in most cases:

1. Uninstall pyRevit
2. Delete C:\ProgramData and \%AppData%\ pyRevit folders
3. Move all Revit addins to a temporary location. Usual addins locations include:
   1. %AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\<year>
   2. %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
   3. %ProgramData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\<year>
   4. %ProgramData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
4. [Reboot computer]
5. Reinstall pyRevit
6. Started each version of Revit confirming pyRevit successfully compiled at startup.
7. Moved all Revit addins that were moved in step 3 back to their original location.
   1. you may want to add them one at a time and start a revit session everytime to figure out which ones are causing the issue.
