Upgrading old versions to 2022 and migrating data on multiple endpoints

[alilland]

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 endpoints, and any endpoint could have one or more versions installed, I have to do a catch-all search-and-destroy method. Some users have every version from 2017 to 2021 installed. I know each version can stand alone. My plan is to use a batch script to do the following in this order:

1. Install SU 2022.
2. Check if an older version is installed. If found, copy files from Components and Materials folders to the SU 2022 program files folder.
3. Uninstall found version.
4. Delete the program files folder if it remains after uninstall.

Below is a preliminary version of my install script. Is there any reason to believe this won’t work, or are there any other things I should consider? I appreciate any yay’s, nay’s or whatabout’s anyone can offer.

Thanks, everyone!
Adam

any other things I should consider?

Unable to uninstall SketchUp Pro 2021 after 2022 install

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, it mistakingly checks for anything that is later than 2021.0. So, 2022.0 is seen by the 2021 installer as being a later version of 2021, and not an entire new version. The work around is to uninstall 2022, uninstall 2021, reinstall 2022. Your workspace and plugins will still be ok. We’re not going to go back and release an updated 2021 installer to solve th…

[MikeWayzovski]

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

[alilland]

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!

[alilland]

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.

[dezmo]

BTW.
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.

[alilland]

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?

[Anssi]

@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 and may even cause crashes. Your script must absolutely skip at least the extensions that are shipped with SketchUp as version 2022 ships with the newest versions of these.

@alilland

Should I leave all of the old versions installed, and just install 2022 alone?

It might be wisest to do so, unless the users are very short of disk space.

[MikeWayzovski]

Here’s a killer batch file to make all versions go away (2020-2017)

It doesn’t take care of preferences and AppData

[alilland]

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.

[dezmo]

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.
