Script a silent Uninstall of QuickTime

I could attempt to make a vbscript for you to do the above if that is of any use to you ?

Try to add a "/s" to the command line, and use %Systemroot% instead of C:\Windows:
%Systemroot%\unvise32qt.exe /s %Systemroot%\system32\QUICKT~1\UNINST~1.LOG

I will try the system root variable and /s option, which would be the easiest for me to implement - stay tuned.  

Set WshShell = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")

WshShell.Run "%Systemroot%\unvise32qt.exe /s %Systemroot%\system32\QUICKT~1\UNINST~1.LOG"
wscript.Sleep 1000                    ' <--- Alter sleep time as required
wscript.SendKeys "{TAB}"          '<-- edit here for tabbing between options on un installer
wscript.Sleep 250                      ' <--- Alter sleep time as required
wscript.SendKeys "{ENTER}"      '<--- To hit the ok button to make it do the un install

This is just a basic example of the sort of vbscript you are looking for as far as I can tell, you may have to make it sleep for like a minute or something and then make it hit ok on the finish button or something like that or you could just let it time out or something I guess.

Unfortunately, the /s did not suppress the pop-up.  Would vb to able to trick the uninstall into thinking the user was responding with a Uninstall Everything selection?

what about using the shells minimizeall method ?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/objects/shell/minimizeall.asp

    function fnShellMinimizeAllVB()
        dim objShell
       
        set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
        objShell.MinimizeAll

        set objShell = nothing
    end function

Not sure how much that helps though because if you minimize it I am not sure if you can use sendkeys still :P

Cant you just use the sendkeys to make it select the un install everything selection ?

I know when I was making a previous script to change options in the proxy settings of IE I had to use sendkeys to send the specific options Letter so if the letter U was underlined then I had to use sendkeys to send the letter U and same goes for any other options that were underlined, if that makes sense ?

Thanks for the input - I believe the vb option will work nicely in this scenario.  Regards, Kenan

Post back and let us know how it goes :)

On other quicktime uninstalls I have found using the "/uninst" or /"removeonly" switch which is suposed to uninstall the program.

Example: C:\WINDOWS\unvise32qt.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\QUICKT~1\UNINST~1.LOG /uninst

I know the question have been closed but if your still having issues you could try it.

I tried the solution mentioned but it didn't work. The SendKeys on the script ends on the following error:
" Object doesn't support this property or method: 'wscript.SendKeys'
The Script I am using is the following:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "%Systemroot%\unvise32qt.exe /s %Systemroot%\system32\QUICKT~1\UNINST~1.LOG"
wscript.Sleep 2000
wscript.SendKeys "{TAB 2}"
wscript.Sleep 1000
wscript.SendKeys "{ENTER}"  

I have to remove QuickTime from 350 wks in a silent way...any help would be great.
Thanks!
