Datasmith is not installing


for Sketchup 2022 on Windows

Hello,
download this msi https://unrealstudio.epicgames.com/UnrealDatasmithSketchUpExporter_4_27_preview1.msi
and pass its path to the installer process so it can uninstall the existing version properly.

It wont work because i am using Sketchup 2022.

Have you tried to uninstall all sketchup exporter version using “Add or Remove programs” in Windows?

Yes, i even uninstalled all the SKetchup versions that i have and reinstalled them again but no cigar


Now i have another problem, the installer will not complete the installation till the end, i will reach 90% approx then i get this message

Can you try to run it in command line to get a log file and share it with us?

The command would be
msiexec /i C:\PATH_TO_UnrealDatasmithSketchupExporter.msi /lvx* C:\PATH_WHERE_YOU_WANT_THE_Install.log_FILE

Hope this is what you are looking for, this is what i placed i the command prompt bar (msiexec /i C:\PATH_TO_UnrealDatasmithSketchupExporter.msi /lvx* C:\C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2022_Install.log_FILE)

Not exactly, if it is successful you should see the installer trying to run as usual. It should also fail like you have seen so far, just we will get a log file with more details.

you should replace C:\PATH_TO_UnrealDatasmithSketchupExporter.msi with the actual path to your msi file. e.g. C:\Users\attar82\Downloads\UnrealDatasmithSketchUpExporter.msi
and C:\PATH_WHERE_YOU_WANT_THE_Install.log_FILE with the path where you want the log file to go e.g. C:\Temp\SketchUp 2022_Install.log

I managed to install it. An IT technician helped me, the only way he managed to make it install is by creating a new Windows User, other than the existing that i am already using ( My default login one). Only this way the installation was successful till the end.
Thanks anyway
