Autodesk DWG TrueView

This application has a somewhat complex installer that necessitates extracting files from the primary executable to run silently. Although our current framework does not yet support the extraction of executable files, this feature is on our roadmap. In the meantime, you can add this application using our Custom Apps feature.

Has the idea for DWG TrueView really been open since November 2019?

I also need the app for updates of many clients. Please implement. Thank you

please add it, very important and we uses it a lot

This makes it easier for us, so we don't get requests for the $500 version of AutoCad.

Users need to install latest version of this program.

A must have too ! With the multiple version available (latest: 2025)

+1 just had a customer asking for this.

The apps we can currently add to our catalog are limited to single-file EXE or MSI installers. Since the Autodesk DWG Trueview installer requires extraction and contains multiple files, it doesn’t fit this criteria. The particular app may be better suited for our Custom Apps feature.

This would be very useful to us.

Hey PMPC crew... looks like this was last looked at a little over a year ago. With the work you have done with custom apps portal supporting multi-file installers, perhaps it's time to look at DWG TrueView again?

Cheers!

Given the comments of my colleague below (I'll paste again in case you missed it), at this time we can't support this app. Kindly vote or comment on this idea in order for us to support products with this installer behaviour/functionality: https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-1463

DWG TrueView is still an issue with Patch My PC at the moment. There are 2 issues with this app:

1. This app is a 2 part process, the exe must be extracted before getting the actual installers, typically, we can work around this by using the "Local Content Repo" option however....

2. When the contents of the file are extracted, they are actually a multi-file installer, Patch My PC only supports single-file installers today, so this product is incompatible.

We know this is a popular app, but we are limited by the technology at this time. We'll continue to look at ways around this in the future, but for now we will keep this as a no-go.

DWG Trueview can easily be added manually as an application to ConfigMgr. Extract the file to a folder, and run "setup.exe /q" and you are good to go and use the "dwgviewer.msi" for detection.

I have hundreds of user that need this app.

Any news on DWG Trueview ?

hm that is wierd since i allready put it in Intunes without problem and deploying it as is without even needing anything in the command line arguments

I'm marking this as a no-go for now. The way this software is packaged makes it very difficult to deploy via our methods at this time.
