How do I write a batch file to uninstall an application and install a new version of it?

Question

I am using a CAD application which will have monthly updates. For updating, we need to uninstall the current version and install new version which will come with the new patch.

Can we do that?

Answer 1

I would take a look at using a proper installer to do the job: you can use something free like NSIS to help you build something to meet your needs. It will take a little up-front work but the results will be far more professional and robust that a batch file.
