Visio 2007 SP2 Silent Uninstall - PLEASE HELP THE NEWBIE!

Please have pity on the new packager who has been given the task of installing and uninstalling Visio 2007 SP2 into an enterprise environment.

I am reading lots of documents on creating custom config,xml files with all kinds of convoluted switches with all types of dependencies. HELP!

Is there anywhere or does anyone have a config.xml file for a silent uninstall of Visio 2007 SP2?

I have tried using the OCT and did not see anything for uninstalling the product?

I am close but when the uninstall begins, it prompts the user to accept the uninstall...

Sorry for the blathering but thats what packaging is doing to me [sm=rolleyes.gif]

Thanks for listening....

</Configuration> As for uninstall, use the UninstallString value which gets put in the Uninstall registry key. The Display element in the XML file will take care of dialog suppression.
