Silent uninstall

[michaelm]

Hi there

The silent install mentioned in the SMS post works fine.
We also have a requirement to be able to uninstall software when required without user intervention.

Is there any way to run a silent uninstall?
I currently have the following command to uninstall but it always prompts user to confirm before it uninstalls which I do not want?

RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\engine\6\INTEL3~1\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{4BB0D53E-1167-4A61-8661-62FB02050D02}\setup.exe" -uninst

I've tried adding "-silent" to the end of this with no effect.

thanks

Unfortunately silent uninstalls is not available. You should only have to answer 1 or 2 questions, so interaction is minimal.

Has anything changed regarding silent installs since this was originally posted back in November 2008?

Unfortunately not.

Just out of curiosity... Why not?
It seems a little short-sighted to be provided with a method to install the product silently, I believe your documentation refers to this as a batch install, when there is no provision of a silent uninstall.
