Express tools in 2017 Deployment

[Anonymous]

I have setup a deployment for Building Design Suite and when I do the AutoCAD installations express tools is not showing up on the users computer. Under Installation Type I have it set for Custom with Express Tools and Autodesk Seek selected and Migrate Custom Settings unchecked. Really need to have it load automatically once AutoCAD opens, but on the test installations the user needs to type in EXPRESSTOOLS to get it to show up. This is not a realistic approach to have each user do this for our office.

Hi Sam,

Are you still in need of assistance or have you resolved this?

I have recently installed Building Design Suite Ultimate 2017 and can confirm that Express Tools loads correctly with Autocad. I didn't install from a deployment though.

If you try installing normally and not from a deployment do you still have the same issue?

Also how many computers have you tested on? if just one computer does the same happen if you run the deployment on other computers?

If you can let us know what you have tired so far to resolve this maybe someone else reading the forums will give us some suggestions.

This is still outstanding as we move closer to the deployment date. Installing as a standard installation is not going to work for me so it is not something I have tried. It has been tested on around 6 computers so far and all of them have required me to type in EXPRESSTOOLS to get what is needed.
