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
