Silent Removal of Earlier SMART Board Software Versions

Silent Removal of Earlier SMART Board Software Versions

About Removing Earlier Versions

When you silently install SMART Board software 9.x, unlike an interactive installation process, the 

Windows installer doesn’t attempt to remove any earlier versions of SMART Board software from 

your computer. Although the silent installation of version 9.x is successful, the new software 

installs on top of the old, and both versions appear in the Windows Control Panel’s 

Add/Remove 

Programs

 list. 

The newer version of SMART Board software installs files into the same folders as the previous 

version, replacing some files with newer versions. Because of this, the previous version of SMART 

Board software won’t run correctly.

NOTES

 

If you don’t remove the earlier version of software, SMART Board software 9.x will work 

correctly.

If you remove either version of SMART Board software, the process deletes files necessary to 

the other, disabling the remaining version.

If you remove the earlier version of software, either silently or using the Windows Control 

Panel’s Add/Remove Programs utility, you can use the Add/Remove Programs 

Repair 

option 

to replace the damaged or missing files.

If you attempt to silently remove the earlier version of software after installing version 9.x, you 

won’t be able to silently remove version 9.x. You must then manually remove all SMART 

Board software files from your system before you can silently install version 9.x again. You can 

use SMART's Cleanup utility to remove these files (see page 27), but you can’t run the 

Cleanup utility in Silent mode. 

Removing SMART Board Software 7.x

SMART used the 

Install Shield

 installation utility to install SMART Board software versions 7.x. To 

remove these versions of software silently, you must create a 

setup.iss

 file.

Before you can perform the following procedures, you must obtain the GUID (Globally Unique 

Identifier) for your version of SMART Board software. Refer to the following table for the GUID 

value to use for these versions of software:

NOTE: 

Include the braces—"{" and "}"—when using a GUID in the following commands.

IMPORTANT

SMART recommends that you remove any previous version of SMART Board 
software before silently installing a new version.
