I’ve pieced together this batch file as I find I’m always reinventing the wheel, when it comes to installing SharePoint Solutions that don’t come with an installer (setup.exe type deal).
So, here it is, ready to be used by you (and easy to find, by me…) 🙂
@ECHO OFF

REM If changes are not reflected by using upgradesolution, retract and delete the solution, then re-add/deploy
REM (Run these commands in a dos window so you can pause and wait for the retract to complete, otherwise the
REM deletesolution will fail
