New release. Error dynamically compiling pyRevit runtime

Runtime
1

I just installed the latest (pyRevit_4.8.14.24016_signed.exe)
Now I can’t get pyRevit to work. On loading I get the following error, although the CLI tool seems to show that master is attached.

IronPython Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\pyRevit-Master\bin\engines\pyRevitLoader.py", line 30, in «module>

Many possibilities:

  • clean uninstall
  • install
  1. Uninstall
  2. Remove %appdata%/pyrevit and %appdata%/pyrevit-master folder if any
  3. Move Revit addins to temp location
  4. install latest pyrevit
  5. start Revit once - close it
  6. bring revit addins to their original location

Merci Jean-Marc.
That 6-step solution seems to have fixed it.

Thanks reporting back.

Thanks to you (# BIM influencer)

Also : I since had the same problem on another PC and I simply fixed it by deleting “C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\pyRevit\pyRevit_config.ini”
and restarting.
Without reinstalling anything.

@Jean-Marc I tried the above steps for a few releases but still keep getting the following error. This is for remote machine which got upgraded to Win11, but other ones seem to work except this one. Any help is appreciated please. :pray:

@Kervin red flag for me here. You are using 4.8.13. The version is 1 year 2 months old. We don’t have the ressources to deal with older installs as a lot has been happening in the code base since.
I suggest you try the latest release or the latest wip installers and let us know how it went. You can grab it from the pyrevitlabs website
And if you still have an issue, file one on the pyrevit github repo

Thanks. I tried the latest release and still getting the same error as previously posted. I have another remote machine where version 4.8.13 works just fine. The only thing I can think of is the working machine has a later version of python?
I’ll need to continue testing getting python version 3.12.4 to the faulty machine

mostly unrelated, pyRevit comes with its own runtime of python. It does not require installation of python.

Happy to help!
I finally encountered it myself so I had to use this moment
