Unsupported Products using System Context Installs via Access

Autodesk Support

Nov 26, 2024


Products and versions covered


Issue:

When enabling users without install permissions to install updates via Access, some updates will not run in that mode.  Help documentation here.

Causes:

Enabling your users to install updates without install permissions will only work for patch updates (updates that only contain some of the files in the original installer).  Patch updates can be run within the Access UI and can be installed in the system context (without a user).

 

There are two scenarios where this will not work as expected:

  1. The updates are full installers and not patch installers.  These are updates that require user interaction and are not supported within Access.  When updating these products via Access, the update will launch a new window outside of Access, and this window cannot run in the system context.
  2. The update uses our old installation technology that was used prior to 2022.  These types of installers do not work with system context installs.

Solution:

The products and versions listed below do not support system context installs via Autodesk Access.  If you are using a deployment tool like SCCM or InTune, updates can be distributed via those tools today.  In the future, when we support product installs within Access, we will be able to support these types of updates as well.
