Software Deployment

I tried adding the uninstall options directly in SCCM but it just didn't work. So I ended up creating a small .bat script and ran both the installer and uninstaller pointing to a script. My uninstall script looks like this: 

"%~dp0setup.exe" /uninstall VisPro /config "%~dp0SilentUninstallVisio2007.xml"

VisPro is for Visio 2007 and Visio would be for the 2010 version. 

My .xml file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Configuration Product="VisPro">

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />

</Configuration>

Again the .xml file contains "VisPro" and will only work for the 2007 version. Just change that to "Visio" to make it work with 2010. Visio 2007 does not require a reboot, but 2010 needs a reboot to be completely removed. 2010 will also forcereboot if <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" /> is not included. Hope this help!

So close Keane!

Try this, you will need the access to the source media. Most likely you have a SCCM Package already for Office so just add this as a Program, and add the .xml below to the source - dont forget to update the DP with a new source version.

Use command

 setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config UninstallProPlus.xml

In shove this in the UninstallProPlus.xml. You might need to add no reboot in as well as I just tested it and it rebooted :/ You can google that though, dont want to make it too easy (;

 <Configuration Product=”ProPlus”>
 
<Display Level=”none” CompletionNotice=”no” SuppressModal=”yes” AcceptEula=”yes” />
 
</Configuration>

This is for proplus, but hunt around in your source media if you have a diff Office type.

*oops the above is for office! Should be the same though, use these bits below and the correct source media.
<Configuration Product="PrjPro">
<Configuration Product="Visio">
