This is pet peeve number 02, on this installer. Note: Here is where things get a little sideways, with this new Installer and using this method: They get angry, if Desktop Connector is currently installed and running (sigh). It might not be on the Exporters either, but we did. Note that some of the other “standalones” like the Navis Exporters, it seems like you want to pass -o as an argument (to accept the EULA) but that doesn’t seem necessary here.

With the “new installer” setups, you CAN run them silently even if they don’t have a full on Deployment config, by engaging the Setup.exe found in the folder, and passing it the arguments: The GOOD news is, it is all Relatively pathed, so you can move this folder to your server, and name it something not stupid. Within the unpacked Folder named (take a breath) Autodesk_Desktop_Connector_14_9_0_1430_Win_64bit, youll see a structure that very closely represents the new 2021/2022 Deployment Structure, its just not “configured” as a Deployment, itself.

You’ll notice the new one is much larger than 14.8.0 (which isn’t an issue, but worth noting), but more importantly: When you run it, it doesn’t install DC right away: It unpacks to C:\Autodesk, unlike the old DC installer: These are ALL named DesktopConnector-圆4.exe when they are downloaded (a massive source of frustration for me, with application installers). I put those on ours, for version tracking on the installers. Note that the _Versions suffix on these installers are not there when you download them. And, as David points out in his tweet, the installer (while its named the exact same thing as 14.8.0’s) is an entirely different animal: Desktop Connector Installers Evidently, version 14.9.0 was released last week, and I had missed it. Imagine my surprise (on Friday) when i saw David Baldacchino’s tweet, about the installer not having a silent flag for automation (thanks for the heads up, David!). Needless to say, we had prepped all of our software packages over a week ago, including Desktop Connector 14.8.0 (which renamed from BIM360 to Autodesk Docs, since we last updated at 14.0, so we wanted to rip than band-aid off and get it done). We’re in the midst of our Autodesk 2022 Product rollout, on our Parallax machines, and this coming week i am taking my first trip in 15 months, to fully deploy/update a Client’s office, in Atlanta (road trip!).
