We have an older app from 2006 we’d like to uninstall at the command

  • 0

We have an older app from 2006 we’d like to uninstall at the command line using group policy, but I can’t get a silent uninstall to work.

This works. Of course I need to click Next to uninstall:

 "C:\App\Setup.exe" /uninst

But this does not. I see an hourglass for a couple seconds but the app is not uninstalled.

 "C:\App\Setup.exe" /uninst /s

I also unsuccessfully tried some VBScripts. They find the app listed but the uninstall fails. I’m not too familiar with how this process is supposed to work.

    You need to create first an ISS response file to silently remove your application,

    1. Create response file :
      C:\App\Setup.exe /r /f1c:\app\uninstall1.iss
      you will be asked to uninstall, …. and perhaps reply the others windows.
      Then your application would be uninstalled and you get a new response file c:\app\uninstall1.iss

    2. Next, if you want to remove silently this application on another computer :
      launch : C:\App\Setup.exe" /s /f1c:\app\uninstall1.iss
