Easier updating of Solidworks add-in

Presently, updating the Duro add-in for Solidworks requires a 1) manual uninstall of the add-in, followed by a 2) manual install of the newer version of the add-in, which includes many clicks and user attention. The need to first uninstall the older version is something that could easily be automated with software tools of this day and age. 

What would be much preferred is a more streamlined solution. Something with fewer clicks. The desired solution would look like: user initiates the update > dialog box "would you like to update to version X.X" > yes, and it updates by itself. No further user attention required. The process ends with a dialog box at the end stating success/failure. 

Bonus points if you can make it update while Solidworks is open. But I know that is a long shot. :-D

  Hi Jesse,

  Thank you for your feedback! Which Duro SWX MSI version are you currently using? Please confirm you are using the most recent MSI version which will allow for this.

  Best,

  Melody
