Silent uninstall PureEdge 6.5
I'm attempting to do a silent uninstall of an application named PureEdge
I'm using the following command to generate my .iss
The contents of the .iss which I place in C:\temp\uninst.iss
I then run the following command:
This does not execute a silent uninstall. It appears that it's not executing with my .iss. I know .iss files have been beat to death in other posts but I can't find anything that helps.
Thanks in advance.
I'm using the following command to generate my .iss
RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\engine\6\INTEL3~1\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{E0000650-0650-0650-0650-000000000650}\Setup.exe" -l0x9 -uninst -rThe contents of the .iss which I place in C:\temp\uninst.iss

Try RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\engine\6\INTEL3~1\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{E0000650-0650-0650-0650-000000000650}\Setup.exe" -uninst -f1"C:\temp\uninst.iss"

Hi Lanamor,
Some times uninstallation of the installshield exes will not capture proper content in ISS files if you record using above mentioned process. better to record iss file by executing the source exe only.
for example C:\sourcemedia\setup.exe -r -f1c:\temp\uninstall.iss -f2c:\temp\uninstall.log
then it will prompt a window with 2 options REMOVE or REPAIR, click on REMOVE , once it is uninstalled then use the iss file which is created in temp folder. use the below command for uninstalling.
"C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{E0000650-0650-0650-0650-000000000650}\Setup.exe" -s -f1C:\temp\uninstall.iss
Thanks
Joseph.

No luck. Still prompted to confirm uninstall.

No luck here either. Running setup.exe without -uninst states that a previous version is installed and must be uninstalled first.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Do you have any previous versions insatalled in your build.? if not , even if it is prompting "the previous version is installed and must be uninstalled first" window go a head by clicking ok and check whether it is capturing any contents in the respose file.

Clicking OK exits the program. Unfortunatly, the developers of this software package were garbage.
