As part of my effort to script some common issues and solutions for Revit 2011 products, I've written a script to correct the Revit 2011 Hangs at Splash Screen or Crashes with Unrecoverable Error problem.
The script I've written automates steps 1 and 2 in the post. Step three can be fixed using an existing technical solution we wrote that already had a script for it. Resetting the Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 user interface.
The script works very similar to the uninstall script, but it only fixes the problem with the WSCommcntr2.exe process, and the corrupt WSCommCntrData.xml file.
This scipt will also work with any Revit 2011 product, just type in the product name (just Architecture, Structure, or MEP) and the script will do the rest with just a little bit of intereaction from you.
Go ahead and Download REVIT 2011- Hang at Splash Screen. Hopefully, it makes fixing this issue a little bit easier.
I'd love to hear your thoughts about this one in the comments.

Hi! Now I get past the splash screen, but a new problem occurs:
"Licensing System Error 30:falure to start AdLM"
When I try to hit th register btn to re-register under the license settings i get the same message. I've set DEP to off for Revit.
current status is:
"Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 - 20100326_1700
License unavailable. Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 is in demo mode."
im running vista 32bit, and haven had any problems until now, been running Revit smoothly for 4 months

Hi Daniel,
I found a thread on the discussion forums about this problem. http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Licensing/Licensing-System-Error-30-failed-to-start-AdLM/td-p/2793992
It looks like your issue may have not been related to the original hang at splash screen problem, but a little deeper. I would recommend trying the action in the thread to "Please delete adsk*.data files from the following folder
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet"
This will affect other Autodesk products though, otherwise the recommendation from the thread said to do a clean reinstall, I have a script that does that here:http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=14633513&linkID=9243099
Hopefully, one of these will get you up and running again.
