Apps in the Autodesk App store are often packaged in a standard MSI installer, which requires Admin right (Admin privilege) to install.

Many users do not have admin right of their working computer but still want to use Autodesk Apps.

This clip will show you how to make these Apps PORTABLE.  In other words, you can manually install these apps without ADMIN right in 4 steps:

1. Get a free and portable MSI extractor

2. Download an Autodesk App's MSI installer

3. Extract the content of .MSI file to a folder

The fastest way is:  Drag n Drop the msi file into LessMSI, click Extract then click OK

4. Copy Bundle folder to Autodesk plugins folder

Copy the folder of the name ending with ".Bundle" to:   %APPDATA%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins

(paste "%APPDATA%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins" into Windows Explorer address bar, then press Enter)

FINISHED !!!

Now, you can open the parent Autodesk Application (AutoCAD/Revit/Fusion...) to use the App.  Usually, App ribbon will appear in the Add-ins tab.
