How to push Autodesk update releases
Can someone help me figure out how to deploy the update releases for Autodesk? I have already deployed the software but now we have updates that need to be installed and I would like to push them out instead of installing them individually on each pc.

I figured it out. Just used the flags /W /q /norestart /I
I extract the .exe package to .msp files and then deploy them with the following command:
msiexec.exe /p "Autodesk_Revit_2017-x64_SP2.msp" /qn /norestart /log output.log /quiet
Is this run as "Deploy User (Interactive)"
Rudy do you have an example for the exe files you get from Autodesk? I'm new to this scripting thing.
Hey Darren, I am out of office now. I will upload some screenshots and details tomorrow.
Hey Darren,
There are multiple ways of downloading Autodesk programs from the manage.autodesk.com site. Always use the browser download, this will give you a .exe
Then extract the .exe file to msp with the following command:
<local_drive:>\<patch_name>.exe /e <local_drive:>\<patch_name>.msp
Then you can deploy it like a normal MSI file:
msiexec.exe /p "Autodesk_Revit_2017-x64_SP2.msp" /qn /norestart /log output.log /quiet
If you have any futher questions please let me known.
Rudy thank you so much for sharing i will give it a try in the morning.
Rudy having trouble with the conversion exe to msp.
K:\Install\2017\Addins\Revit_WorksharingMonitor_2017_dlm.sfx.exe /e K:\Install\2017\Addins\Revit_WorksharingMonitor_2017_dlm.sfx.msp
Is this used with the msiexec.exe?
msiexec.exe /p "K:\Install\2017\Addins\Revit_WorksharingMonitor_2017_dlm.sfx.exe" /e "K:\Install\2017\Addins\Revit_WorksharingMonitor_2017_dlm.sfx.msp"
where did you download it? I can only find 2016
I logged into the Autodesk Account under our Building design suite there is a downloads option
Ah ok, I looked in de Autodesk app Store. I will look in to it.
There are different types of installations for autodesk product
In this case it's option 4, when you start the install it self extracts to c:\Autodesk\. Navigate to C:\Autodesk\Revit_WorksharingMonitor_2017_dlm\x64\RWSM there you will find a RWSM.msi file which you can use for the deployment.
Make sure that you include the entire directory during the deployment
