Issue:
You do not want users attempting to install Autodesk updates because:
- Users do not have install permissions

- Browse to the HKEY_CURRENT_USERS/Software/Autodesk/ODIS folder
- Right-click on the folder ODIS and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value
- Enter DisableManualUpdateInstall for the name
- Right-click on DisableManualUpdateInstall and choose "Modify..."
- Enter 1 for the Value data
- Click the OK button and close the Registry Editor
- A reboot may be necessary for the update to take place.
