Full offline installers not available in account

[C14sugm2000]

Just noticed that in my account, I can't downlod anymore full offline installers, but when I choose "Download" in the menu, there is a 15MB exe to be downloaded named PORTAL_downloadpackage123456789.exe. What is that? Does it enables some sort of web installation? What about full offline installers?

Thanks for any infos.

that's the webinstaller

if you have classic view in your Autodesk Account you can get the browser downloads or

depending on the version your looking for you can go here for the offline installers: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/2024-product-download-links/td-p/11835996

this is for 2024

Using the classic view there is nothing, only this message

"Only older license types and products appear here. Go to the updated All Products and Services to access the products included with your current subscriptions."

Then the full installers are not available anymore in my account, bah

I hope it's just a temporary issue (maybe it'll be fixed in the 3/6 maintenaince....)

Thanks for the direct links thread.

Ye 'Ole download ain't no more... Create a deployment (Custom Install) on you Account page and that will download the whole thing.

So, the only way to download full offline installers is AVA (which they made it harder to find and it misses lots of softwares as well....) or going through the trial download process of each software page.....

Very smart.....

When i choose download in my portal I get a 15 MB file Create_Installer_ACD_2024_English_WIN64.exe. Executing that file crates a full installer in C:\Users\<username>\Downloads\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2024 - (EN)

So it's not a web installer, but a file that downloads an offline installer? And what's the point of that? Why not stay with the direct offline installer download? Bah....

Agree

BTW, I tried to use this new method, and it donwloads the decompressed exe, not the exe itself (meaning more GB on disc...). And at the end of the downlaod, some sort of error pops up asking me to download the full offline installer, while all installation files downloaded have been deleted ...

Very smart move Autodesk, really....
