Unattended Uninstallation for Forest Pack and Rail Clone

[nmoser]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on deploying Forest Pack and Rail Clone across multiple workstations. I’ve managed to automate the installation using the following script:

Code: [Select]

"ForestPackPro911_x64.exe" /S /MAXDIR="%programfiles%\Autodesk\3ds Max 2023" /LICMODE=NETWORK
However, I’ve encountered an issue where I need to manually uninstall the previous versions before running this script. I couldn’t find any information in the documentation about performing a silent or unattended uninstallation.
Does anyone know if there’s an option I can add to the script to automate the uninstallation of the previous version? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Nuno,

Though the unattended uninstallation is supported by using the /S parameter (uninst.exe /S), it shouldn't be needed to perform it when upgrading the version - the installer of the new version will proceed with all necessary steps even if running in the "silent" mode.

Let me mention, that in recent versions, for the 3ds Max 2022 and above, our plug-ins are now installed at C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins, using the latest package format for plugins and there's no need to specify /MAXVER & /MAXDIR parameters - these parameters have been "replaced" by the /APPPLUGINSDIR parameter (if you use the default location, there's no need to define it).

Best regards,

I've removed all unnecessary parameters and added the /S to the uninstall settings and now it's working perfectly.... I wan't adding the /S to the uninstall parameters therefore I coudn 't perform a
