Hello,

Does anybody have any experience doing silent uninstalls of Bentley View?

The Install is fine, Setup.exe with an iss file...great except the uninstall uses Guid.exe (for some reason)...

The Guid.exe command is "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\GUID.exe" -uninstall -guid "{EC2A673E-4292-4C5E-A802-80DD385B8A52}_0",

but there are no switches to run it silently.

I'm a bit new to repackaging etc, but I gave AutoIT a go, but you can use switches on your commands, so I'm guessing that some sort of VBScript will be needed, perhaps even a combination of both??

Any way, any help would be greatly recied, I do wish these people would use MSI's!

Thanks,

Mark.

what is bently view?
some more info would be helpfull

[MarkCrane]

Bently View is a freeware Autocad viewer. I think its part of an overall Microstation Suite, but the free viewer is the componant we want to distribute to our users. Search for Bentley View in google and its the top hit!

Thanks,

Mark.

Ok click right on your bently view setup , and extract it with winrar to a folder.
Place the file

setup.iss in the same folder and run it with this : Setup.exe -s

thats all
And to make it switchless you can make an sfx.

with this :

TempMode
Setup=Setup.exe -s
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
