Silent Uninstalls
I have an application that was installed Via Installshield. The following UninstallString is in the Registry.
RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\engine\6\INTEL3~1\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{171F35E5-D5DA-4087-AA82-A97C03032045}\setup.exe" -l0x9
There is "No" silent switch for this that I can find. Is there a universal silent switch for InstallShield apps?
Thanks.

Hi There mqh7
Theres a fair bit of information about this scattered all over the internet, and in particular, in community.installshield.cmo - This is almost directly lifted from a post there:
Try creating the response file by changing -l0x9 -l0009 UNINSTALL to -l0x9 -r in the registry key and then running the unistall from add\remove programs. This will create the setup.iss in the system directory. If that doesn't work try -l0x9 -l0009 -r.
If the response file is created, then reinstall, put the response file in the C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{171F35E5-D5DA-4087-AA82-A97C03032045} folder and run C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{171F35E5-D5DA-4087-AA82-A97C03032045}\setup.exe -s
Hope that helps.

Hello..I just saw your post? Were you able to do a silent uninstall for this app? Thanks.
