Remove ActivStudio PE 3

[alunmjones]

I'm in the process of preparing for a change over from ActivStudio PE 3/2 to ActivInspire 1.5, ive got the network install working and tested, im now looking to see if there is an easy way of removing ActivStudio PE 3 from the school systems.

 

I have 50 ish Laptops to remove it from, i think i might have one or two that are still on ActivStudio PE 2 that would need to be removed aswell, i dont really want to do it manually.

 

any advice/command i can use?

 

Also is there a way to get ActivInspire 1.5 to look at a server location for extra Content/Recources, id also like it to look in the local folder for when the laptop is used at home to prepare work.

 

thanks

Hi,

 

You could write a script to launch msiexec with the uninstall switch and call the Product Code for the version of ActivStudio you have installed,

 

eg, to uninstall ActivStudio Professional Edition v3.7.19 (which was the latest) run msiexec /uninstall {929B1254-D7F9-403A-8234-EE348E448820}

 

You can find the relevant product code in HKLM>Software>ActivSoftware

 

With respect to resources location you can configure ActivInspire to point to a "Shared Resources" location that can be local or a network location if you like and you have the option to have a "My Resources" location on the local machine (again this could be a network location too if you want) If ActivInspire cannot see the "Network locations" you have configured then it will revert to the default locations on the local machine.
