What to do when I get the errormessage "Revit cannot run the external application "TheModus Revit Addin"?

Zuletzt geändert am: 8 March 2024

Problem:

After installation of TheModus version: 1.3.2.118/1.3.2.123/1.3.2.125 Revit can show this errormessage upon start:

Revit cannot run the external application "TheModus Revit Addin".....

Within the 'details' there is mention of the "Cadac.Legacy.General.IOHelper.CheckOrCreatePath":

Cause:

In a previously installed/older version of TheModus an user path have been entered for example for the UserContent.

This user path cannot be found.

Solution:

Download te attachment: Stap 1 Uitvoeren voor installatie.reg
Save the attachment onto the users dektop.
Optional: uninstall the current TheModus version.
Doubleclick the file: Stap 1 Uitvoeren voor installatie.reg
- Click [ Yes] to answer the 'Continue' question
- Click [ OK ] to close the 'Values added' message.
Install TheModus (1.3.2.125)
Start Revit.
Change the Settings for the UserContent path to the desired location.
Close Revit.
Start Revit to check if the issue has bee resolved.
In case the message persists to show, execute "Stap 1 Uitvoeren voor installatie.reg" again.

It is possible there are more user paths which have to be 'reset'.

In this case use the "Stap 1a Alle standaard paden instellen.reg" attachment
