I figured as much, I tried to do the same and just gave up. As for the program files issue, I have come up with this to get around it. Simply checks if the OS is 64 or 32, sets the RevitProgramFiles variable appropriately, if it's 64 but 64 revit isn't installed it sets it back to x86, or if they have less than 4gb of ram, I've found 64 revit actually runs slower than 32 if they don't have more than 4gb
Code:
VarSetCapacity( MEMORYSTATUSEX,64,0 ), NumPut( 64,MEMORYSTATUSEX )
DllCall( "GlobalMemoryStatusEx", UInt,&MEMORYSTATUSEX )
TotalPhys := NumGet( MEMORYSTATUSEX,8,"Int64"), VarSetCapacity( PhysMem,16,0 )
DllCall( "shlwapi.dll\StrFormatByteSize64A", Int64,TotalPhys, Str,PhysMem, UInt,16 )
StringTrimRight PhysMem, PhysMem, 3
ThisProcess := DllCall("GetCurrentProcess")
; If IsWow64Process() fails or can not be found,
; assume this process is not running under wow64.
; Otherwise, use the value returned in IsWow64Process.
If !DllCall("IsWow64Process", "uint", ThisProcess, "int*", IsWow64Process)
IsWow64Process := false
If IsWow64Process
BIT = 64
else
BIT = 32
If (VERSION = "2008" or BIT = "32" or 4 = "32")
{
RevitProgramFiles = %ProgramFiles%
GoSub APPLICATIONPATH
}
If (BIT = "64" and PhysMem > 4)
{
RevitProgramFiles = %ProgramFiles%
StringTrimRight RevitProgramFiles, RevitProgramFiles, 6
{
IfNotExist %RevitProgramFiles%\Revit %Discipline% %VERSION%\Program\Revit.exe
{
RevitProgramFiles = %ProgramFiles%
{
FileAppend,
(
%Username%`t %ComputerName%`t Revit %Discipline% %Version% 64 Bit is not installed`t %TimeString% `n
), \\nevada\drawings\revit\RevitInstall.log
}
}
GoSub APPLICATIONPATH
}
}
If (BIT = "64" and PhysMem <= 4)
{
RevitProgramFiles = %ProgramFiles%
GoSub APPLICATIONPATH
}
APPLICATIONPATH:
AppPath = %RevitProgramFiles%\Revit %Discipline% %VERSION%\Program\
DataPath = %RevitProgramFiles%\Revit %Discipline% %VERSION%\Data\
JournPath = %RevitProgramFiles%\Revit %Discipline% %VERSION%\Journals\
