Cannot silently uninstall MS VC++2012 x64 get warning 'if you continue with this uninstall....'
Hi,
I've never seen this before but I am getting a warning on a msiexec /x /qn {.....} which says 'If you continue with ths uninstall, 2 or more products may stop working properly. Do you want to continue with this unisntall anyway?'.
This warning is preventing the silent uninstall. Anyone know how I can put an /ignore or something like that?
thanks
Paul

I was trying to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 x64 Debug Runtime - 14.14.26405 and had the same problem. When I would run normal uninstallation, it would bring "If you continue with this uninstall, 1 or more products may stop working properly. Do you want to continue with this uninstall anyway?" and doing the same silently would return success in the log file, but it would still be there.
Fixed by adding "IGNOREDEPENDENCIES=ALL" property to uninstallation string.
MsiExec.exe /X{874453C7-F1A2-3087-AE5B-A4D4C83B29B4} /qn IGNOREDEPENDENCIES=ALL
Hope that helps

I've found the answer anyway. When it is installed there is a folder (in my case):
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{ca67548a-5ebe-413a-b50c-4b9ceb6d66c6}
which had a 445kb file vcredist_x64.exe
I renamed mine to vcredist_x64_uninstall.exe
you can then do this
vcredist_x64_uninstall.exe /uninstall /quiet /norestart - csjjpm 10 years ago
