No Access to Default File Location of Fusion 360 Install using AWS AppStream 2.0

I'm creating an online streaming app for Fusion 360 using AWS AppStream 2.0. I downloaded Fusion 360 onto an image (kind of like a VM). Currently, nothing opens and no error message is displayed when I test my Fusion app. For the AWS AppStream to work, the files need to be in a specific location. The files cannot be under C:\Users... since this will cause a hierarchical folder issue. So, I moved all the files to a folder I made C:\Fusion360 which the AWS tool can then access. The problem is, files in the new folder still seems to refer to files in the old folder which is inaccessible.

 

An example from the FusionLauncher.exe in the new folder: 

cmd = ""C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\ce69b5085f183e9fbd0b866247cde236e92ac45c\Fusion360.exe""

I can change this to the new file location but it doesn't fix it: 

cmd = ""C:\Fusion360\webdeploy\production\ce69b5085f183e9fbd0b866247cde236e92ac45c\Fusion360.exe""

 

Has anyone else dealt with this problem? How can I dereference everything correctly in the new folder so that nothing refers to the old folder? Or can I specify the install location during installation (without an educational license)? 

 

Thanks!

Yes, that was what I was referring to when I said I moved the files. It doesn't fix the issue. It just copies the files, some still refer to the original install location.

The admin install provided in the link below fixed my problem because it installs it in C:/Program Files instead of C:/Users/%username%/AppData/Local
