Are you having problems with Revit 2017 Deployment and the Custom ini file


This one comes via email from Brad Strauss.

Here�s one for you. I had issues getting the deployments for Revit 2017 to honour the custom ini file which drove me nuts and costed time creating/ testing and redeploying many times over. What you need to do is:

1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the location of your BDS 2017 install media.

2. Use Notepad to open the Setup.ini file that resides alongside the main Setup.exe file.

3. Locate the section titled [ProductSelectionDlg2] and add the following four lines between the UI_Source= and BACKGROUND_IMAGE= lines:
UI_CONSTRUCT_SOURCE=SetupRevitContentPackUI.dll
UI_CONSTRUCT=SelectionDlgConstruct
UI_FINALIZE=RevitCreateCustomIni
UI_FINALIZE_SOURCE=SetupRevitSetup.dll

4. Save the changes made to Setup.ini and exit Notepad.

5. Launch the BDS 2017 installer from the main Setup.exe file.

Thanks for sharing Brad!

Another interesting point from ktenbrook:
I finally learned that if you do not accept the default language of English for the Revit 2017 download, you will be presented with the download options, rather than just the "Install Now" option.  So, I picked the multi-language option (that includes English) and was able to download the administrative install for Revit 2017.  I was able to create a Revit 2017 deployment with a custom .INI file using that without any issues.

ATM A Connection Oriented Cell Switching Technology

ATM A Connection Oriented Cell Switching Technology The objective of this lab is to examine the effect of ATM adaptation layers and service classes on the performance of the network.   Overview Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a connection-oriented, packet-switched technology. The packets that are switched in an ATM network are of a fixed length, 53 bytes, and are called cells . The cell size has a particular effect on carrying voice traffic effectively. The ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) sits between ATM and the variable-length packet protocols that might use ATM, such as IP. The AAL header contains the information needed by the destination to reassemble the individual cells back into the original message. Because ATM was designed to support all sorts of services, including voice, video, and data, it was felt that different services would have different AAL needs. AAL1 and AAL2 were designed to support applications, like voice, that require guaranteed bit rates. AAL3/4 and AAL5 prov
