SAS 9.2 silent UNINSTALLATION
hi guys, just need your help. I already search and read threads about SAS 9.2 but only its installation appears. I succeeded silent installing SAS 9.2, BUT for the silent uninstallation I failed. >.<
For installation i used the -record to create response file (based on SAS deployment wizard user's guide.pdf). First, i thought that its the same concept with uninstallation that you need to create its response file during the uninstallation process which you should "delete order" steps. What i got on its response file was only this.
----
#Response file for the SAS Deployment Wizard
#Created: <date>
#Responses with multiple options are separated with / characters.
#Select Deployment Task
#Select the deployment task you would like to perform.
#START_TASK=install/depot/manage
START_TASK=manage
----
I run the command \setup.exe -quiet -responsefile <path>\uninstall.properties - UAC prompt, Deployment wiz displays then nothing happens.. my guess is the response file is incomplete..btw, im installing it in vista.
EDIT: just found out that this will not uninstall the app. it will just remove the order. i saw some uninstallation procedure on enterprise edition. And once that works. ill delete this post. thank guys!

ah yes thanks turbo, i tried that last night and it worked. i guess theres no way to uninstall the whole SAS 9.2 with its component at the same time. You must uninstall them 1 by 1. hmm... ok great! thanks again turbo!
EDIT: correction, it did not work. [:@], what i did last night was without -s
I got this reg uninstallstring:
RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\RunTime\11\00\Intel32\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{F9390B82~}\setup.exe" -l0x9 -removeonly uninstall W32
I added -s but sadly it doesnt work [X(], tried with several switches but again it fails.

sorry for the confussion, the uninstall response file that i had created would not remove the app itself(see my edited 1st post above), it will remove the order/purchase stuff or simple it will remove your source files.. luckily i have my backup but if not, im totally dead.
from what turbo suggested, C:\Progra~1\InstallShield Installation Information\{FB8E4~1\setup.exe -removeonly "uninstall" -s,
i just simply pulled out the uninstallstring from the reg then run it in cmd.
RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\RunTime\11\00\Intel32\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{F9390B82~}\setup.exe" -l0x9 -removeonly uninstall W32
pressed enter then it uninstall in UI interface succesfully, adding -s or /s was not succesful. I wish the engine 'reverses' the process for uninstall. [X(]

Hi all.
I took the uninst.iss file from my install dir and it worked!!!!
For (just about) all the SAS software to uninstall silently, use:
"C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{F9390B82-786C-43CF-A970-D39E23EF0366}\setup.exe" /removeonly uninstall /s /f1"[PATH]\uninst.iss"
The uninst.iss file you want is likely in this path: ...SASWIN 9.2\depot\products\sasinstall__92210__win__en__sp0__1\sas
Good luck all!
I'll paste my file below:
[InstallShield Silent]
Version=v7.00
File=Response File
[File Transfer]
OverwrittenReadOnly=NoToAll
[Application]
Name=The SAS System
