Uninstall Tool for version 2023 and next version missing

The uninstall tool was a good tool. As of version 2021, this tool is missing. I have 30 computers and need to uninstall version 2023 and next version. Version 2023, 2024 has Inventor, Autocad, Nastran, Factory, Tolerance Analysis, Cam, Nesting.
The question is: How do I uninstall all products of a given version 2023, 2024 and next version

Should I base ideas on it? Lots of information on the topic here. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/uninstall-tool-for-version-2023-missing/td-p/12063888/...

making a bat file etc sounds great, if it was the year 2008

 

But we had a great tool for uninstalling, worked perfectly: you could explain it to every engineer, even people who are awfull with computers.

Now its a pain and not friendly at all.

And since mostly only one person per company is in charge of updating and uninstalling this will never reach enough votes

@DarrenP I tried to follow your link how to uninstall afer a custom installer

  • For multiple installs where you used Custom Install, the batch file included in the deployment image includes predefined commands for install and uninstall.

I can't find the .bat file.

Is it in C:\Autodesk\{GUID}\image?

Where do I find this bat file with predefined commands.

 

 

 

And seriously Autodesk, we need to start writing our own bat files now?
And its too difficult to update the Uninstall Tool that is just a GUI to generate this bat file
That is like half a day work for a single programmer to fix on your side!!!!!

This is such bad manner to your customers. Wanted to use heavier language. So frustrating

Hi. I agree with you. I would also like the Uninstall Tool. You have to tell DarrenP or someone with Autodesk. I am a user of the program like you.

I totally agree.   We pay too much for subscriptions for them to just decide to remove it.  The uninstall tool was great. Very easy to use and it worked flawlessly. We need this back.

They need to make sure it doesn't touch anything licensing... I think that's a concern
