Unfortunately, you are correct and this was an unexpected result of changes to the Autodesk installers. I should also note that you do need the entire Revit 2022 installer and not just the RVT.msi file as the installation first needs to read the msi file and then locate the original version of the file(s) in question. This would be similar to retaining the original CD/DVD in years past. Until then, the best solution is to keep a copy of the original Revit 2022 installer from a browser download available. We understand that this is not optimal and we are working to resolve this issue in future releases. Amongst the files that were no longer retained were the original msi files, which is why more individuals are encountering the prompt for the these files. These changes were put in place because many customers wanted Autodesk installers to leave less data on their local hard drives after the installation was complete. The introduction of the new Autodesk installer brought changes to which files were retained after products were originally installed. Please note that this is not new behavior for Revit or other Autodesk products. Without this check, Revit hotfixes would end up overwriting information from other applications and negatively impacting their functionality. In this event, the hotfix needs to identify which portion(s) of the Revit installation file have been modified to ensure that these changes are not removed during the installation of the hotfix. This prompt means that at least one of the Revit installation files has been modified by an application other than Revit. The fact that the Revit hotfix is prompting for the original RVT.msi file does not indicate that there is a problem with the installer.
