Here's a little trick you might want to know, if you are spending a gawd awful amount of time installing and uninstalling Revit right now. And who isn't it seems.
When you install or uninstall Revit, minimize the pretty screen once the process starts. Your install or uninstall will go MUCH faster.
Why? Because the installer is single threaded, which puts that cute little animation on the main thread, which slows down the IMPORTANT stuff while the MARKETING FLUFF goes on. Make marketing go away, and everything works better. Whodathunkit?
How did I discover this? Well, I tried to uninstall Revit on my work machine via RemoteDesktop last night. The animations go really slow thanks to the super slow upload speed of our ISP. Net result, an uninstall took 2 hours. Had an epiphany, tried it minimized, it took about 5 minutes. :banghead:
