Running the Installer

The setup should be Run as Administrator.

STEP 1:

The welcome dialog will appear, click Next. This will take you to the feature selection (below right).

STEP 2:

By default, the installer detects the available versions of Navisworks and automatically ticks those features to be installed. iConstruct Server Service and Revit Data Switchback Add-ins are features that are not required for the general function of iConstruct, and so should be ticked only if the user is familiar with them.

STEP 3:

Once the feature selection is complete, click Next. The installer will prompt for an optional server name or IP address of an existing iConstruct server (This is not the network license server address). This can be left blank if no server is available.
