Custom profile for deployment

[LyleHardin]

I'm making custom installs  deployments for our AutoCAD and Civil 3D 2022 user licensed files.

I'd like to add a custom profile. As soon as I start typing in a profile name, I get an "invalid character" warning.

See image below after just typing in one character.

I've tried all sorts of things, full paths, unc paths, special characters, etc. to no avail. What gives?

Hi !

Entering full path/name  file with extension seams to work :

Best regards

I swear I tried that. I'll try again and post results. 

Thanks for at least showing me that it might be possible.

Looks like someone accepted this as a solution. It wasn't me. But, it is a solution, none-the-less.

I found also, that if you use a custom profile (*.arg file) that it must reside on the computer you are doing the deployment from (that computer must be a workstation on the network... not a server) and it cannot reside in the folder where your deployment is being made. Your deployment folder must be completely empty. For instance, you'll want to make a folder called C:\Custom and place your custom .arg file(s) there. It took a bit of trial and error to figure this out as the deployment instructions and warnings are not very specific.
