Has anyone been able to accomplish installing Autodesk products with PDQ Connect? I could use some guidance.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish and how I have gone about it so far.
I created an installation exe from Autodesk and then uploaded that exe to PDQ Connect via a zipped folder. The install has to be handled this way to prevent uploading roughly 8gb of files to PDQ Connect. It doesn't like the large file size so I need to use the installer.
A PowerShell script then runs to extract the exe and places it into a temporary folder that will be deleted later. Once the installer is extracted, a BAT script runs with the following:
"C:\CompanyTemp\ACAD-MEP_2025_Installer.exe" -q "C:\Autodesk\{62FDD0F4-F1EB-4382-8FE2-29520734037D}\image\Installer.exe" -i deploy --offline_mode -q -o "C:\Autodesk\{62FDD0F4-F1EB-4382-8FE2-29520734037D}\image\Collection.xml" --installer_version "2.6.0.129"
I'm not sure if this is correct or not. My current hunch is that the installer runs and creates the installation files but does not carry forward and install AutoCAD 2025. Does anyone have suggestions for where to go from here?
Cheers!
Ryan
