    Angry Extra Content in Deployment Images - ALL Design Suites 2014

    Hello Everyone,

    Just through i would let you know that Autodesk have done it again.

    If you are creating individual software deployment images from the Building Design Suites 2014 you will find the size of the deployment image is stupidly large. This is because the deployment image is adding additional content for products you HAVE NOT SELECTED...

    i.e. It will add the 4.11gb of Revit content <image name>\Img\Content\Revit regardless of what you actually want to create.

    The ReCAP 2014 deployment image size when created from the Factory Design Suite Prem 2014 = 2.06gb
    The Showcase 2014 deployment image size when created from the Factory Design Suite Prem 2014 = 8.29gb

    The ReCAP 2014 deployment image size when created from the Building Design Suite Prem 2014 = 9.02gb
    The Showcase 2014 deployment image size when created from the Building Design Suite Prem 2014 = 14.5gb

    The ReCAP 2014 deployment image size when created from the Infrastructure Design Suite Prem 2014 = 5.66gb

    I've noticed this with Showcase also. I still need to try the other Suites and to attempt to create the deployments from a standalone product's source media (i.e. AutoCAD 2014 or Showcase 2014 media) to see what the actual size should be.

    Factory Design Suite:

    Infrastructure Design Suite:

    I've also noticed that ReCAP has different space requirements between the two suites which i'll look into later.

    More to come later.

    2014 seems to be setting a very high bar for borked Setup and Deployment routines from Autodesk. From the screwup with 360 and Properties dialog, to missing Tools and Utilities options, it's flat out atrocious.

    The graphics on the various Setup splash screens are cool looking and all, but it looks like an unpaid intern actually did the packages.
