Using --globalinstall --quiet not working on MacOS

I'm trying to do the web-sourced installation on MacOS for All Users which I would expect would be installing to /Applications. First of all, current documentation app names don't match what actually is in the download dmg. I can't get it to install using --globalinstall OR --globalinstall -quiet from the terminal.

 

macOS Monterey. Logged into GUI as standard user. Logged into terminal as administrator.

 

If I do this command as an admin, a streamer window pops up and it acts like it's installing but the app can't be found anywhere:

 

sudo "/Volumes/Autodesk Client Downloader/Right-click > Open to Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Fusion 360 Client Downloader" --globalinstall

 

If I run that command again after the streamer window goes away it says Fusion 360 is up to date, but I can't locate the app. On the error screen, it gives an option to launch the app, but it doesn't launch.

 

If I do the below command I get the error also shown:

sudo "/Volumes/Autodesk Client Downloader/Right-click > Open to Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Fusion 360 Client Downloader" --globalinstall --quiet

The domain/default pair of (kCFPreferencesAnyApplication, AppleLanguages) does not exist

Are you installing an education lab install? It sounds as if you are installing an education install using the regular streaming download. Can you please provide the links you are using?
