Tech Note - Revit Installed In Abnormal Location
How to ensure Deep Space Scheduler can find Revit if you have installed it in a different location
Steps (Windows):
-
Close Revit (and anything Autodesk-related).
-
Backup / remove the existing
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2025\
folder if it exists:-
If it exists, rename it to something like
Revit 2025.bak
so you don’t lose anything.
-
-
Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
-
Run the symbolic link command:
mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2025" "R:\Autodesk\Revit 2025"
-
/D
= directory symlink. -
First path = where the addin expects Revit.
-
Second path = where Revit is actually installed.
-
-
Verify:
-
Navigate in File Explorer to
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2025\
→ you should see the contents ofR:\Autodesk\Revit 2025\
. -
Run the addin and check if it loads correctly.
