pyRevit for Teams

Tools
1

Hi all :wave:,
In our company we are currently running an custom enterprise installer for our users that is following the guidelines of pyRevit for Teams. This allows us to customize the configuration of the deployments.

We noticed there is now also an admin installer of pyRevit in the latest release.

We were wondering when this installer is meant to be used? Does it still allow for custom configuration on deployment? Is the pyRevit for Teams guidance page still up to date? We have some issues with running the powershell script installer, e.g. that there is no uninstaller.

Using this pyRevit for Teams guide, I am now having issues registering/cloning pyRevit it seems. Running the orchestrated powershell script without errors, but pyRevit clones return nothing, as seen in below snip. What might cause this? I am worried for running unsuccesful deployments with these results.

Hi @GooseG
What does the pyrevit env command returns?

weird, you had pyrevit pre-installed on your computer? If so, did you removed everything before launching the script itself? It feels like it is not using the right pyrevit_config.ini file or not generating it

Good question. The install script should remove previous installs. I included some more remove scripts, like pyrevit doctor purge-installs, but that returns this. Maybe because there are no previous installs?

Purging old installs...

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at pyRevitDoctor.PurgeInstalls.PurgeOldInstalls(Boolean dryrun)
   at pyRevitDoctor.Program.Main(String[] args)

Anyway, this new script didn’t seem to have registered the new pyrevit clone. It did however register the new attachments:

pyRevit seems also to run fine. Should I have any worry not getting any registered clones with pyrevit clones?

not really if you do not plan on using the pyrevit clones command

I haven’t had the case, so I cannot really try it
