Batch file not running with new Autodesk deployment
Trying to use the new Autodesk deployment too to deploy 3DS MAX 2021 to some target computer. I first tried copying the GUI version of the install command from within the batch file and simply use it as a command step, but that did not work. It would just time out with no visible results. Next, I tried including the actual batch file in the command step and used a CALL command to call the default batch file that autodesk provides. If I run the command from the network share on the local computer, or pull the entire directory down to the local computer and this, it works fine. For whatever reason it is not working when I try to deploy it with PDQ. any ideas?

I'm also experiencing this with Autodesk Revit 2021 with their new web deployment download... I haven't messed around with it enough yet but so far just running the command with the -q doesn't work via PDQ it launches the installer.exe but never actually does anything, nothing gets created in %temp% etc...

Hmm, thanks for that tip, I'll work on it more tomorrow but that implies it may be an issue with the working/current directory, or some reference back to the directory for reading or writing something... Will update here if I figure it out but that helps at least get it deployed which is easier than logging into hundreds of systems to run it that way. Thanks :)
