Preparing Suite deployments

[jeff_howard2]

I am looking to see if anyone knows the steps to create a single deployment package for the Autodesk software suites?

My company is on subscription and can download all of the individual software packages, but there are not any instructions for creating a single deployment package for a suite like AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite that includes both Revit & AutoCAD and several other things.

Anyone have any pointers?

Unfortunately you can't with that suite.  Since you have to download the parts separately you have to create separate deployments.

I am in the same boat creating a couple different deployments for each part and putting them into one folder labeled the suite name on the server.

Hope this helps you out.

So I guess there is an advantage to getting one copy of the media on DVD or USB drive.

The DVD still comes with separate DVD for each software package.  Not sure on the USB.  If you want them all combined you will need to get the newer suite packages Autodesk is selling now.  The Building Design Series.

We have the Building Design Suite also, but since 3dsmax 2013 has not been released yet that suite is not available for download.  I guess I would be asking to much of Autodesk to included the "Suite" installer for download rather then all of the individual software packages.  Granted it's a 28Gb download, but well worth the time to download so I don't have to create deployment packages for each piece of software in the suite.

autodesk does offer the suite download that way

its broken out to like 4 or 5 files you have to download and it extracts all at once when you have the files downloaded

granted autodesk does separate the 32 bit and 64 bit of the suite into separate downloads
