    Unhappy Vista - ExternalApplication not running

    Hello, I searched about this matter, but did not find anything usefull to my problem:

    I'm running Revit Architecture 2008 (Build 20070416_1717) on a Vista Business computer.
    My ExternalCommands are running fine, but the ExternalApplications just don't show up.
    I start Revit with "start as administrator" and the external dll are where the revit.ini tells.
    With the same settings, but under XP instead of Vista, everything just works fine.
    Btw also with the provided examples by the SDK I have the same problem...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for helping me out, or maybe someone else has the same problem?

    sincerely

    Michael Raps

    Default Re: Vista - ExternalApplication not running

    I haven't tried it extensively on all versions and Service Packs - but I would say that our applications are working consistently if you run as an administrator on Vista.

    Sorry I don't have a specific suggestion .

    Hi Matt

    Thanks a lot.
    First your application did not run either. But then I saw, that you and your installation tool mentioned something about service packs for Revit. I searched quite a moment to find a servicepack on the Autodesk site, but after installing the SP3 (in fact is was a total reinstallation of Revit and not a patch...) everything works fine now ) Happy me!

    Thanks again for having me brought on the right track...

    Sincerely Michael
