How do I silently install the Autodesk Desktop Connector.

Solution:

Using a batch file or command prompt and adding --silent will run the install silently.

Open the downloaded package "DesktopConnector-x64.exe", and upon running it, it will extract to the folder C:\Autodesk\WI\Autodesk_Desktop_Connector_002_002

Once the extraction has finished, close out of the install wizard.
If you extract the downloaded package to the default location, you can use this for the silent install in a command prompt or make an install script. If you extracted the package to a different location, change the script as needed:

"C:\Autodesk\WI\Autodesk_Desktop_Connector_002_002\image\Setup.exe" -i install --silent
