Issue:

When trying to deploy Autodesk products that use the new installation experience (Does my product or update use the Autodesk New Installation Experience or the Classic Installer?) via script, the deployment does not wait for an installation to finish before starting a new one. 

Causes:

The “Start /wait” command is no longer supported with Autodesk deployments that use the new installation experience. 

Solution:

In order to avoid this behavior, use the following command:

“<path>\Setup.exe" -i install --ui_mode basic | more

Or move the program at the end of the script.
