You might be asking: “What happened to the old Deployment Wizard that came with Revit 2021 ?” Frankly, it’s going away soon. The new deployment experience is also much more reliable, meaning that installs finish successfully the first time and uninstalls actually remove everything that was installed. The new installer does a better job of keeping track of installed items and successfully cleans the machine afterwards. We’re also minimizing the impact of prerequisites to make sure they are installed with fewer errors. For machines that already have what’s in the deployment, it will simply exit quickly. For new computers, it will install everything. When you deploy out to your computers, it will determine what’s on the machine and install only what is necessary to get the machine to match what’s specified in the deployment. No more hunting around for updates to include in the deployment. You can simply specify what version of Revit you want in the deployment, and we will automatically include exactly what you need. We’ve also made it significantly easier to get updates into a deployment. Deploying to computers is also faster, as the installer is up to twice as fast as prior versions.

Some deployments are three times faster to create from start to finish. Unselected i tems will not be downloaded and included in the deployment. With the old Deployment Wizard, you had to download the entire product (or worse, an entire Suite of up to 45GB) before you could even start creating the deployment. The online deployment creation tool makes it fast to configure, and more importantly fast to download only what you want in the deployment (image below). A faster deployment experience allows your users to get up and running more quickly than ever before.
