You can install or uninstall an administrative image on clients by running the command admin_image_install_dir\StartSWInstall.exe. This method installs SOLIDWORKS using the options, machines and groups defined in the Administrative Image Option Editor.
You can append the following switches to the
StartSWInstall.exe
command:
Switch |
Description |
/install |

on client machines. |
/uninstall |
Uninstalls the software from
client machines, with two optional switches:
/removedata
|
Available for uninstall only. Removes
SOLIDWORKS data files and folders during uninstall.
|
/removeregistry
|

SOLIDWORKS registry entries during uninstall.

SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager. Otherwise the SOLIDWORKS
Installation Manager is hidden from the user. |

StartSWInstall.exe is preferred to using StartSWInstall.hta in cases where you want the installation to proceed without any user interaction, but do not want to use automatic deployment from the Administrative Image Option Editor.
