Just got this email from Autodesk, thought I'd share in case you downloaded the IFC exporters for Revit I posted about last June.

"You are getting this message because you downloaded a version of IFC Exporter for Revit or IFC Export Alternate UI for Revit prior to September 27, 2013. We have posted an update to the exporter only, which you can get using the links below.

NOTE: There have been reported issues with the earlier Revit 2014 exporter and UI installers. In particular, these could cause a crash on startup for users other than the user that installed the add-int. The latest versions fix this issue, and the IFC Export Alternate UI for Revit 2014 v2.5 installer has had a hotfix. If you or your company have had this issue, please make sure to update the 2014 UI also.

IFC Exporter for Revit 2013 (v2.13): *NEW*
