Hello dear TIT TEAM and all,

As already discussed, the KiCad software operates based on major versions.
Currently, you have version 7, version 8, and version 9 has been released.

To help you quickly create tis-kicad9, I have:

-Downloaded version 8
-Replaced if "8.0" in data["name"]: with if "9.0" in data["name"]: at line 25 of update_package.py
-Tested and validated the updatepackage function, it's ok
-Tested and validated the installation, it's ok
-For uninstallation, I will report the issue on their git that their QuietUninstallString command "C:\Program Files\KiCad\9.0\uninstall.exe" /allusers /S does not seem to work.

Could you create this new package for version 9?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

When I test this software version on my computer, even with a system account, I don't have any problem. However through LUTI I have an error but I don't have any logs, perhaps it is an uninstallation issue.
Do you have any error/logs when you try to uninstall?

Many thanks.

Hello Ingrid,

Thank you for your feedback.

They actually switched to a new installer in the meantime, and it does not produce uninstallation logs.
It seems they did not properly implement install silently on the new uninstaller.

Best regards,

Hi,

Kicad has released a new version that does not provide any error.
Luti has passed all the tests: https://luti.tranquil.it/listfolder/825 ... b12b7713ea

You can find the package right here: https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt-testing/t ... EPROD.wapt

Or you can wait 5 days before it's available directly in the store.

Best regards,

Joffrey
