Questions Sharing a Script - Need to change your versions of Acumatica Frequently USE THIS.

I am going to start posting some of utility scripts that help me with day to day on-premise tasks with Acumatica.  

Here is a script in PowerShell that I use -  so I don't have to babysit a dev server when I change out the version of Acumatica. 

Steps of this script:

• It verifies that your are an administrate user. 
• You pick the version of installer out of the directory of installers. 
• It checks to closes ALL windows for Acumatica ERP Configuration Wizard on all profiles (saving the reboot flag from getting tripped).
• It silently uninstalls the current version. 
• And installs Acumatica with an unattended install.  (no prompts)
