Have you checked in the RVT_2021_install log in the %temp% folder. You may consider hacking the Windows Registry for entries tied to Revit 2021.
Here is my Powershell script e.g.

I am happy to report that Autodesk recommend that I install directly from their site. It took only 30 minutes! Perhaps Windows Defender does not like my Powershell scripts to run the Autodesk...

They are spinning platters. I submitted the log file to Autodesk support for comment. It took about four hours.

It seems to take 2-3 hours to install on a Window 10 20H2 workstation from an Autodesk package via a network drive. Is that normal?
Any ideas why it is taking so long?

I was expecting 45 minutes...

One way to verify whether the deployment is copying down the desired Revit.ini is to check this location: "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2021\UserDataCache\Revit.ini"

I know you can lock a model from the Revit Server Admin, but don't recall if one can still open it as read only.

I heard the same thing from my manager.

The original deployment.

I thought I could avoid installing Formit, all the material libraries, ADSKAPP, etc. by editing the INI file identified in the deployment shortcut (I can reduce the deployment image by several gbs)....

We also have had some licensing issues with 2020. Autodesk recommended the following remedy:...

This hotfix should address this issue:...

Here is the Autodesk Support response:

Our security administrator has identified that MSXML 4.0 Parser has a reported vulnerability. Does anyone know if removing this will affect Revit? I don't see anything in the installer ini file.

We identified one reason to avoid tampering with SQL Express 2014: Revit would crash when initializing the Steel Connections plugin.

I was unable to install Revit 2019 on our server, and Autodesk support responded that Revit will no longer install on a server OS. Maybe Revit Server 2019/2020 will be separate packages.

The Autodesk recommendation is to install SQL Express 2014 SP3, which should be in support until 2024...

We have considered an alternative to BIM360, and we were told that it is a legacy application, i.e. there is no further development. I agree that BIM360 may not be the right solution for a smaller...

Although Revit Server can be a cheaper solution and is effective for Regional locations, Autodesk is planning on retiring the technology. Of course, Autodesk is focusing on BIM360. The only warning...

Whoever own the license would care. I don't think Autodesk would care; however the owner might.

Our security administrator has identified that SQL Server Express 2014 is no longer supported, and is therefore out of compliance.
It turns out that it is installed with Revit as a prerequisite....

The culprit was AutodeskDownloadManager_webinstall.exe. I was able to download Revit 2020 through the Web based download instead (all 14 gb).

I had my Dell Precision 4800 blue screen three times during the Revit 2020 download. I also tried on my Citrix VDI, and also crashed. I submitted a ticket to Autodesk Support. Hope it's a better day...

I would check the Windows updates on that server. And reboot the server.

We have been using 2018 Revu Extreme. I have not heard of any issues.

Good luck! Independent of the cost and time to upgrade a project, Revit did not become more stable as a platform until version 2015. I get anxious after every Windows update or OS build. Printing and...
