Package installation Error

Hello Everyone,

Can somebody advise how to install a package that catches some errors?
manual installation does not work as well. The package simply does not work, some issues with dll registration. Revit 2023. Only this package has problems

Check package description, archilab has subversions by revit build.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, none of available builds can be installed.

Temporarily disable addins, remove unnecessary packages and see how you go. If this is in revit 2025 im unsure if many packages are tested/supported there yet.

For me i looks like you dont install to the right path…guess it should be something here…C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo\Dynamo Revit\2.17\packages but not 100 sure :wink:

Do not load the package from a shared directory or anywhere but the default path. Only your default local package folder should be used.

Next manually remove any prior archi-lab package from your packages directory. You have mismatched DLLs right now so you’re in DLL hell. Once cleared out restart your CPU.

Next install the right version of Archi-Lab per the link in this post.

Hi everyone,
the problem can be resolved with deleting all the relevant information (packages) from 2 locations.
The First location is the location of package manager.
The second location is below. Do not know why now we have 2 locations and what the benefit of it. For now I can see it only as a new problem. Thank you all for your support

The second path is for default Autodesk packages - you’ll likely need to reinstall Revit to get those back. This path exists because those packages need to be pushed to all users even though the profile might not exist yet.

Other packages however are not subject to the same security constraints as the official Dynamo ones and as such shouldn’t be put in this directory - in fact many times packages out there will not function due to standard infosec policies.

All packages should be installed to the user’s roaming %appdata% directory, not the %programdata% directory.
