TofuBug Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Wondering if anyone has come across a solution to the following problem.I need to be able to run a silent uninstall of Visio 2007 (Both Professional and Standard) the problem is i can't get rid of a couple of dialog boxes despite having all the required MS options set The Installation is done through a generated MSP file from the OCT for both version that works beautifully and runs silently as neededhowever the uninstall i'm doing using the setup.exe /uninstall VisPro /config .\uninstall\config.xml where config.xml is:<Configuration Product="VisPro"> <!-- <Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" NoCancel="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> --> <!-- <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Visio Professional Setup(*).txt" /> --> <!-- <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" /> --> <!-- <Command Path="msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> --></Configuration>from everything MS says in the setup and configuration instructions on the Visio Web site that should give me a nice clean uninstall with no dialog boxes... yet i still get:"Are you sure you want to remove Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007 from this machine?" Setup dialog boxANDThe "Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007 has been successfully uninstalled" completion dialog boxANDThe "In order to complete setup, a system reboot is necessary. Would you like to reboot now?" dialog boxWith the setup i can use the /adminfile and the msp with all the same settings from the OCT and it runs perfectly silent but MS has it so you can only use the MSP on an initial install you can't use an MSP to uninstall for instance you are stuck using the /uninstall and /config setup options which don't seem to be accomplishing anything they should be doingIf anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate itCheers,Ryan StropeDistributed Services(Software package development/testing)Lockheed Martin Systems Integration Owego(Cyber City Computers)ryan.strope@lmco.comQuid quid latine dictum sit, altum videtur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
