On the New Package screen, the Add products section will become active.Choose Create Your First Deployment, or Create New.If this is your first one, the next screen should look like this: On the left side, choose Custom Install.To create a deployment in 2022 and newer: Let’s create a new deployment with the Custom Install tool. Doing this can make for a leaner install configured for your needs and only one install stored in your environment.

Now, you're able to create the deployment package first, then download it to your environment and deliver it to your users.

But, having both sets of installs for the same tool could have meant someone choosing the wrong one and possibly having to come back for help with missing components. If you were creating deployments, you would have ended up with the default install and the deployment, which is what we were delivering to the users since that contained all the necessary components they may have needed. We usually use the Autodesk® Desktop App for this, or go back to our account and download/install them separately, or contact the IT department for help. In the past, we had to download the software and install it and then install any updates, hotfixes, and other components afterward. If you’re looking for the deployment option, you’ll find it in your account on the left side Custom Install. Now, you can still download the software from your Autodesk® account, but the only choice is to install with no other options. Until now, we could download the software, run the Installer, choose to install, create a deployment, plus a few other options. With the release of the 2022 products, Autodesk® has updated the Installer. NOTE: This article is valid for 2022 releases and newer.
