Hi, Our organization has a dozen or so users that have multiple versions of SketchUp installed. I’m packaging an upgrade to 2022 for them, and I’d like to run my plan by the group to ensure I’m on the right track since I’m new to the SketchUp product. Since I’m using one script to service multiple…

[image] alilland: any other things I should consider? [image] Unable to uninstall SketchUp Pro 2021 after 2022 install SketchUp Don’t worry, I know the answer… There is a defect in the 2021 installer, where instead of checking to see if a later 2021.x is installed,…

The program files only hold the shipped materials and they are basically the same for the last 20 years. If users have made their own collections, they would be in the AppData

I believe even AppData makes a folder for each version. So I would need to move those as well, I imagine. Good to know. Thank you!

Would another option be to first copy those files to a temp location, remove 2021, install 2022 fresh, and finally copy those files in place? I wonder if the uninstall process also deletes the AppData folder… I think I’m going to need to grab both to be safe.

BTW. :grinning: If I were your user…and you (as IT) run this script on my computer…At least I’ll trip you down in the canteen. :cowboy_hat_face: :wink: :wink: :peace_symbol:

:sweat_smile: Should I leave all of the old versions installed, and just install 2022 alone? Do you think pulling them off is going to create more of a mess than it’s worth?

[image] dezmo: At least I’ll trip you down in the canteen. Rather drastic, but what has to be taken into consideration is extensions, if the users are running any. Copying them from an older version to the newest may be a recipe for disaster. Some older extensions won’t work in newer versions…

Here’s a killer batch file to make all versions go away (2020-2017) ▶ Use at own risk It doesn’t take care of preferences and AppData

Fortunately, I queried the users, and supposedly none of the use extensions. So I’m disregarding them entirely. It’ll be on them to install what they want in 2022.

I like to keep all version, although lately I don’t use SU in an “average way”. There is no issue keeping all version installed.
