Uninstall autocad civil3D 2009

Does anyone know what the uninstall command line for unattended uninstall of autocad 2009. I have tried this:

rem UNINSTALL "AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009"
start /w C:\"Program Files"\"AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009"\Setup\Setup.exe /P /x /qn {5783F2D7-7000-0409-0002-0060B0CE6BBA} /M C3D

but this command just laughs at me and says care to try again? I threw in the /x /qn because it came back with a menu if I left it with just using the uninstall string found in registry. Any help would be great, Thanks!

Thanks Matrixnz! I will give it a shot. the uninstall string had the /P which i did not understand but then i do not know enough about installshield and its commands and switches. if you know of a link that can spread more light on installshield commands and switches that would be very cool, either way Thanks and I will let you know what happens!

Hey Matrixnz,

yeah what you see up top is the exact uninstall string that i found in the registry after i installed CV 3D 2009

C:\"Program Files"\"AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009"\Setup\Setup.exe /P /x /qn {5783F2D7-7000-0409-0002-0060B0CE6BBA} /M C3D

and that /P is with all the programs that got installed from the deployment package, but have to admit that is when i did a search under uninstall portion of the registry for "autocad". Now i am searching using "2009" and finding the /X. i still learning

Thanks for everyones help! I have not gotten back to make it a 100% percent but I did do a search in the registry again and did find the following that came back with, when i searched under "2009" and not "autocad" it cameback with different results:

\\\\AdminImage\x86\SurveyLink\

MsiExec.exe /X{280C9F2B-45ED-493B-B406-31C1434CAF7C}

notice the /X instead of /P. So Thanks matrixnz!
