That was the point: it could not be created because at some point (either on install or on first launch) a file without file extension was created that was named the same way as the customization folder (for example "Autodesk Revit 2022"). Because a file with that name was already there, Revit could not create the customization folder (each name can only exists once in a given directory). That doesn't actually prevent revit from launching but it does prevent settings from being saved, and apparently it also caused the Enscape ribbon to be completely greyed out. Deleting the file and restarting revit worked.

That's not to say this is the only possible cause of a greyed out Enscape ribbon of course.

Thanks Pieter, can you be more specific about the files and paths? To my knowledge, both Enscape and RIR plugins (ADDIN files) are located in %Programdata% folder:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\

and not in the Roaming profile

When you say "file without file extension" are you referring to something below? We call these "stub" files which look like folders but they are actually files. These can compromise installation of the software, i.e. during the installation it expects path to be accessible for application to place ADDIN file in but if it doe snot get what it wants it will simply fail. deleting these Stub files resolves the issue.

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2022 to be accessible but if "2022" is a file

Rick Marx I think I isolated the cause. The Revit customization folder in my Roaming folder was not created during install (there was a mystery extension-less file in there preventing the folder from being created, maybe due to a failed install). I cleaned that section up and since then Enscape has been running fine.

So probably not the same underlying issue as other users were reporting here, just the same symptoms (greyed out Enscape bar, which I guess means Enscape failed to initialize properly?).

Can you please elaborate on "The Revit customization folder in my Roaming folder was not created during install" and provide details of fixing this issue? As far as i know, Roaming folders (for any application) are not created at the point of installation but at the point of opening application for the very first time.

Same here, having both Rhino.Inside Revit (1.6 but also the very latest 1.8.8) greys out the Enscape tools in Revit. There must be some sort of clash between RIR and ENSCAPE and this is not the first time, it would be great if Enscape and McNeel resolved this issues. Pretending "this is not my issue but other developer" is clearly not the answer for the teams deploying and supporting your tool within organization.
