Hey, I'm creating new post cuz it seems like I have very odd problem.

 

I installed educational, stand-alone verion of Revit 2014 on my new laptop. It's Lenovo y510p with

i7-4700mq

Geforce GT755M

8GB RAM DDR 3

Windows 8.1 x64

Directx 11

 

THE PROBLEM:

Instalation seems to work ok, In the end Installer claims that it had succesfully instaled Revit. Unfortunatelly after installation when i try to start  a program, the loading window appears for couple of seconds and then immediatelly shows up an "error report" window. (already sent like 5 reports)

 

Things I tried already:

1. Running as administrator.

2. Disabling firewalls (I have ony a microsoft's one)

3. Formating my PC

4. Deleting all Mircrosoft C++ Ret... (by uinstall window in control pannel) and let installer install them again

5. Deleting all possible autodesk files (as described here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=2887771&linkID=9240617  Winking6. Graphic cards drivers are updated, same goes for intel

7. Tried installing only Architecture are well as all possible branches

8. Tried all sorts of download - Install Now, Download Now, Browser Install

 

Please help me. Can't find or think off any more solutions to it. 

I've downloaded and installed 3ds max 2014 educational version as well and it works fine!

Didn't see any posts related to my problem. Hope i was looking right, and sorr if that's the wrong section of the Forum

UPDATE:I formated my laptop again and tried to install Revit without any drivers, still on win8 (not 8.1) Revit started to work. So it's some driver fault or win8.1Edited on: Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 5:50:11 PM

Hi Zingler

 

I have had a similar, if not exactly the same problem with my educational version of Revit.

 

I am unsure as to why the error message comes up, however I found that if I open a revit file from "My Documents", Revit seems to load up fine.

 

Once Revit has opened that file (assuming your educational version is the default program that will open the file) you should have access to go File > Open > .... within the Revit program itself.

 

This doesn't solve the problem but it allowed me to actually use the program.

 

Hope this helps.
