Silent Uninstall

[lori]

Is there any way to do a silent uninstall of MS
Antispyware?
I don't want to use add/remove programs and would like a
command line option to uninstall the program.

See whether this does the job:

MsiExec.exe /X {536F7C74-844B-4683-B0C5-EA39E19A6FE3} /L *vx /Log
c:\msas.log /quiet

The following command worked for me (note: no space
between the /L and its parameters (ime) ... and
the /quiet didn't work - had to use -qn)

MsiExec.exe /X {536F7C74-844B-4683-B0C5-
EA39E19A6FE3} /Lime /Log c:\temp\msas.log -qn

Thanks - the original was posted some time ago, and I have not personally
tested it. Do you know for sure whether you were removing the .509 build?
(i.e. the second version, released February 16th?)

I'm going to replace my note with your command line, if that's fine with
you?

I'm using the .509 build. Feel free to use my command
lines.

I had a slight error in my previous posting - the /log
parameter doesn't work either.

The command should be:
MsiExec.exe /X {536F7C74-844B-4683-B0C5-EA39E19A6FE3} -qn

If you want a log file ... (note: no space between the /L
and its parameters (ime))

MsiExec.exe /X {536F7C74-844B-4683-B0C5-
EA39E19A6FE3} /Lime c:\temp\msas.log -qn

Thanks again!
