You can also install the eformity add-in using an unattended install. When performing an unattended install, there are a few things you need to prepare. This article provides more information about the unattended install and how to proceed with it.

Optional: Removing eformity

Older versions of the system are automatically removed before a new version is installed. If this does not happen, you can remove the add-in using the following command:

msiexec /x eformity_MicrosoftOfficeAddin_x64.msi /quiet REMOVEAPPLICATIONDATA=1

The parameter ‘REMOVEAPPLICATIONDATA’ can have a value of 0 or 1 (0 is the default). Setting it to 1 will clean up as many local working files as possible.
