Software Deployment

You can run the removal command in silent mode using the Java product code as below.

MsiExec.exe /x <ProductID> /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress

To know the product ID,

If it's a 64-bit Java, search for the string "java" under the registry "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"

If it's a 32-bit Java, search for the string "java" under the registry "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

If it's a 64-bit Java...or 32-bit Java on a 32-bit OS...

Yup, that's right! Thanks for adding the point. My bad, I totally forgot about 32-bit OS ;-)

Thanks guys.

am just now doing a reinstall of the client to test another issue. Will report back what I find...

Will the productID be different from client to client? or is it the same for same OS/java version etc?

>Will the productID be different from client to client? or is it the same for same OS/java version etc?

If you have installed same java installer/package on all machines, it will be same on all machines irrespective of the OS.

OK...but the quesion was "Will the productID be different from client to client? or is it the same for same OS/java version etc? "....

The PrdocutID for an installer will be same across multiple clients...it won't change from client to client. And, the ProdctID of a particular installer is same across different OSs as well (XP, Vista, 7 ....etc).

There is nothing called a ProductID!
I'm sure it should be ProductCode or Package Code (revision number summary property)

Yes. Each flavour will have its own GUID (the Windows Installer ProductCode) so make sure you match the ProductCode with the version you want to uninstall: some machines will almost certainly have more than one.
