The installation of Revit 2021 may fail due to an additional component that is installed along with Revit 2021. Start by searching for “Return Value 3” (the 3 generally indicates there was a problem). In this example, I refer to Revit installation because there are a bunch of add-ons and contents we need to install. If Revit Server is the component that is failing, we can take a look at the Revit Server installation log to get more details on the issue. Install the needed version of the Visual C++ Redistributable before starting the installation of Revit Server). Start by looking at the main installer log, if one of the components other than Revit Server is failing, try installing it separately from the Revit Server installation (e.g. Note: There will often be two log files created, one for the main installer that spins off separate installations, and one specifically for Revit Server.

If the pre-requisites are loaded The next step would be to take a look at the installation log file (written to the %TMP% folder during installation). If these pre-requisites have not been loaded first, the installation will fail. Solution:There could be many causes for an installation failure.Ī basic item to check is that the pre-requisites have been loaded for Revit Server.
