How to trigger a silent software uninstallation from the command line
Pkafkas asked on
Trying to un-install a program from a package and the vendor has not really setup any command - line parameters for this.
We did find out that the un-instlalatin does work from Windows 10 - Programs - Uninstall program.
When one executes the uninstlal manually, a UAC prompt comes up and it states that it will execute:
File Uninstall command line "C:\Program Files (x86)\FOLDER_HERE\Uninstal
How can we try to execute this from a command prompt? I have already turned off Universal Access Control (UAC) for testing purposes.
I guess the question is how to:
1). Trigger the uninstall.exe file located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\FOLDER_HERE\ - folder
2). Use the \install.log file located in another folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\FOLDER_HERE\Uninstal
