Migrating customers from Scappman to PMPC Cloud, and this was the first app in the alphabet - it was not a convincing demo with the customer moving to a new platform.
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.
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.
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?
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:
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....
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.
ADD new software for autodesk package : Autodesk_DWG_TrueView
Merged
Hello: I am a client and have patchmypc in my environnement. You have all autodesk product but you forget the simple one that is useful and use a lot in enterprise to view the file for autodesk. please could you add : Autodesk_DWG_TrueView as well...
DWG is a technology environment that includes the capability to mold, render, draw, annotate, and measure. It is also a reference to .dwg, the native file format for AutoCAD and many other CAD software products. Autodesk created .dwg in 1982 with ...
We use this for viewing the DWG files and it's painful to install as it's downloaded and installed via a stub and when you run the stub you have to give admin rights so it downloads to the wrong user profile.
Awesome! Thank-you
Love it!
Love it!

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

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.
