4.3.2 Script-based installation for version 30 SP2024

Here is an example of a simple batch file to install Version 30 SP2024 from an existing update folder without checking the already installed version, . This update folder can be supplied by the offline setup: With catalogs, cadworkprofil and userprofil.

In the script below, for some modules, the presence in the folder is not checked. The reason is that their installation is mandatory and the executables will be automatically downloaded during a standard update and are present in the offline setup.
