Fixing the 404 issue during installation

[deanklear.115866]

Here's what I did that allowed me to download the cabs for Revit 9.0. Please take precautions and make backups of these files if you are unsure of what you are doing!

Go to "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Revit Building 9\Download" and open up "RevitInstall.ini"

Change "URL=http://revit.downloads.autodesk.com/download/9_0" to "URL=http://revit.downloads.autodesk.com/download/9_0/" (without the quotes)

Go to "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Revit Building 9\Program" and open up "Content.rcl" (use Notepad to open it if it prompts). Change every entry for that starts with "fullpath=http://revit.downloads.autodesk.com/" and make sure there is a forward slash between "9_0" and "Content"

For example, "fullpath=http://revit.downloads.autodesk.com/download/9_0ContentENU/ENUHelp.cab" becomes "fullpath=http://revit.downloads.autodesk.com/download/9_0/ContentENU/ENUHelp.cab" and so forth. It's okay if it says ContentALL or something similar - just make sure the forward slash seperates "9_0" and "Content".

Hope this helps some of you guys out there! It's been a while since I've used Revit, so I'm excited to see the changes that have happened. Is Chris Yearick still around?

Hey Dean -- where ya been? Thanks for getting the URL thing fixed for us... I might just forward this on to the Factory so they can fix the problem, if they haven't already.

Yearick hasn't been sighted for a while now (the end of May, actually); I don't know what he's up to.
