For IT teams managing multiple workstations, the Pirros Revit plugin can be installed or uninstalled remotely using MSI command-line tools. This avoids the need to manually install on each machine.
Remote Installation
Run this command to install the plugin silently:
msiexec.exe /i "\\path\to\PirrosRevitPlugin_<version>.msi" /quiet /qn /norestart
Replace
<version>with the actual version number from the installer filename.Download the latest installer from app.pirros.com/plugin or check the Plug-in Release Notes for the current version number.
Remote Uninstallation
Run this command to uninstall a previous version silently:
msiexec.exe /x "\\path\to\PirrosRevitPlugin_<version>.msi" /quiet /qn /norestart
Replace
<version>with the version number you want to remove.
Deployment Notes
Revit must be fully closed on the target machine during installation or uninstallation.
The installer deploys the plugin for all supported Revit versions (2020–2026) in a single pass.
After installation, the Pirros tab appears in the Revit ribbon the next time Revit is opened.
If your firm uses Group Policy (GPO) or SCCM for software deployment, use the MSI commands above within your existing deployment workflows.
