There are two (2) different installation options. Always consult your IT administration team to verify the preferred method of installation. Either option requires the appropriate permissions for installing applications.

EXE Installation 

• Ensure Revit is closed prior to installation.
• Run the installation as an administrator.
• An attempt to run the installation without running as an administrator could result in an Error 1925. Run the installation again, as a local administrator.

The EXE installer will include any DotNet installation requirements, which can assist in installation when DotNet updates or other components may be required.

MSI installation

MSI is an installer package file format used by Windows. Its name comes from the program’s original title, Microsoft Installer, which has since changed to Windows Installer. MSI files are often part of a bulk installation, storage, and removal of programs. These files are part of an installation package and then used with the program’s client-side installer service, an [.EXE] file, to open and install the program.

Our MSI format is provided for IT specialists to package and distribute with numerous software deployment services. When using the MSI option for your local deployment, please check to ensure your desktop client is up to date with Microsoft .NET Framework and all other SOPs recommended by Autodesk.

Virus Protection Applications

An executable as part of this installation process authenticates the user access to Overtur. To ensure a user has access to Overtur, please allow the following folder within your preferred virus protection application: Allow this folder: %programdata%/OvtPlugin4Rvt

The OvtPlugin4Rvt.Auth.exe within the AUTH subfolder authenticates the user within Overtur. If this file is missing from the folder location noted above, it will be necessary to re-install the Overtur for Revit plugin.

Network Installation

See the following instructions, where group policies allow silent installation or other means of bulk distribution of applications.

Network Ports

(Applicable to versions prior to 3.1.0802.x only).
When multiple users log into a shared virtual machine, Auth0 communicates through a single port. This process results in User B being unable to access Overtur, as User A already had the port occupied. Therefore, additional dynamic ports allow the communication of multiple users within the same virtual resources. Those ports include:

• 4444 (default port)
• 30444
• 31444
• 37480
• 43444

Network Deployment

A Microsoft (Windows) Installer MSI package is used to make the installation process easier on a Windows Operating System.
