Anyone know how to perform a silent uninstall for an Installshield setup.exe? The uninstallstring reads RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\engine\6\INTEL3~1\ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{9FCF2FC0-8268-11D4-A313-0006290D766E}\setup.exe" ADD_REMOVE. I added a -r and created a setup.iss file but running that same command with a -s does not result in a successful uninstall. Help.

I was having a similar problem until I used the /f1 flag to specify the fully qualified location of the setup.iss file. I also use /s instead of -s, though I don't know that makes a difference. In addition I extracted the stuff between the " and execute that rather than go through Rundll32.

Using a forward slash versus a dash makes no difference in the switch being detected.

Also, I would definitely recommend using the /f1 to provide the exact path of the ISS file as the default context can get tricky with everything that's going on there.
