Hi. It seems that I have two versions of Autodesk Fusion 360 installed.

There are 8 files: 2 products, 2 service utilities, 2 removal utilities, and 2 data folders.

This has just happened, after I updated Fusion from within the app. Maybe it installed a duplicate? Can anyone tell me which is the correct one to keep? The 'Fusion 360' product seems to not open, but the 'Fusion' product does.

 

Here is a screenshot of a file search for 'fusion':

Hi,

Fusion 360 has been renamed and is now called Fusion.
Perhaps the old name is not overwritten in the system.

One day hopefully soon I want to go to my Applications folder and find Fusion there so I don't have to keep googling what Fusion's install location is just like where eeeeeevery other application known to mankind is located. Not sure what the problem is if that's where AutoCAD installs to.

 

Yo OP did google lie to me again or is this actually the install location?

There's no way. There's no way that's the install location. That's too ridiculous to be real.

Hello,

This is a known issue. If you install new Fusion from a cached "Fusion 360 Client Downloader.dmg" instead of the latest one "Fusion Client Downloader.dmg" from web site, you'll see the case. To recover this, you can clean up by running "Remove Autodesk Fusion 360.app" and "Remove Autodesk Fusion.app". Then download new "Fusion Client Downloader.dmg" and install again.
