I keep getting an error message when trying to create a network deployment for service pack 3 of Revit Architecture Suite 2008.  It tells me that I cancelled the installation, even though I have no other applications running and I haven't touched the computer while it's running.  The log file gives me the error Finalize failed! before the log ends.  What is it that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks! -Mindy

Me Too!!

I have noticed that the Deployment and Content folders which I had specified (and already created) are actually gone when the setup fails.. scary to think an installer is deleting folders from my network!!!!

Can anyone report a successful deployment creation with Revit Architecture 2008 SP3 ??  If it helps the error log details are: (pc and user identities have been changed to protect the innocent)

I've contacted my Revit Supplier and they have in turn contacted AutoDesk.  There are a lot of people with this problem and thay are working on it.  I'll post the fix once I hear back.
