Uninstall ARCHICAD

To uninstall ARCHICAD 22 from Windows, it is best to use the “Programs” or “Add or Remove Programs” utility, accessible from the Control Panel.

On Mac, navigate to the “Uninstall.AC” folder in your ARCHICAD 22 folder, and select the “Uninstall.app” application.

The Uninstall Wizard will remove files which were installed by the ARCHICAD Installation Wizard. CodeMeter and associated components are not removed.

The uninstaller will not remove any files you have created in the ARCHICAD main folder - e.g. ARCHICAD project files that you saved into the ARCHICAD main folder.

Important: Do not remove the Java Runtime Environment before uninstalling ARCHICAD.

Silent Uninstall

For both Windows and Mac, a silent mode is available for uninstalling ARCHICAD. Use this mode to run the uninstall process from beginning to end without any further user input.

On Windows: open the “Run” window from the Start menu. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Uninstall.AC folder in the ARCHICAD folder. Drag uninstaller.exe into the command line; the path is copied to the command line.

Type the following after the path:

/silent

e.g.:

C:\Program Files\GRAPHISOFT\ARCHICAD 22\Uninstall.AC\uninstaller.exe /silent

Note: If you want to avoid automatically restarting the computer after a silent uninstall, add the following to the end of the path:

/norestart

For example:

C:\Program Files\GRAPHISOFT\ARCHICAD 22\Uninstall.AC\uninstaller.exe /silent /norestart

On Mac: open Terminal window, navigate to the Uninstall folder in the ARCHICAD install folder, then type:

uninstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/uninstaller -silent

e.g.:

/Volumes/MyFolder/MySubfolder/ARCHICAD 22/Uninstall.AC/uninstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/uninstaller -silent

Note: If you want to avoid automatically restarting the computer after a silent uninstall, add the following to the end of the path:

-norestart

For example:

/Volumes/MyFolder/MySubfolder/ARCHICAD 22/Uninstall.AC/uninstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/uninstaller -silent -norestart
