Uninstall/Install InventorNetAddinWizardPro and Deploy INAW2015.vsix From Command Line or in BAT File

Just in case a new build of InventorNetAddinWizardPro needs to be installed or because of some reason, the same build needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled, a batch file (.BAT) might be helpful. And better, if silent uninstallations or installations could be supported.

At least, we can uninstall the InventorNetAddinWizardPro silently without any UIs. Here it is:

msiexec.exe /x "InventorNetAddinWizardPRO.msi" /qn

/x indicates uninstallation; /qn indicates in quiet mode and no UIs.

The following command line will install InventorNetAddinWizardPro:

msiexec.exe /i "InventorNetAddinWizardPRO.msi"

The following command line will deploy the VSIX if the InventorNetAddinWizardPro is installed to the default folder.

VSIXInstaller.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\InventorNetAddinWizardPRO\INAW2015.vsix"

Combining these together in a .BAT file may make uninstallation, reinstallation, and VSIX deployment happen with a single click. Of course, it depends on real situations, and some options may need to be adjusted a bit. Here they are anyway.

msiexec.exe /x "InventorNetAddinWizardPRO.msi" /qn
msiexec.exe /i "InventorNetAddinWizardPRO.msi"
VSIXInstaller.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\InventorNetAddinWizardPRO\INAW2015.vsix"
