Silently Removing Earlier Versions of SMART Board
Software
About Removing Earlier Versions
When you silently install SMART Board software, 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 installation 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 new 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, the new version of SMART Board software
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 24), 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.
