Hi all,

I am having an issue where I should remove only one component from the installation. Can this be done thru some command line options?

Add/Remove programs -> Change -> Modify -> unselect requires to be done manually on every workstation. If it can be done thru commandline, it will be quite easier.

Thanks in advance,
Sailesh

Sorry, not component , but a "Feature". The problem with just removing the files and registries thru some exe is that during upgrade, the installer still thinks that feature is installed on the machine.

If you need to uninstall a feature (not remove it from the project):

msiexec.exe /i your.msi REMOVE=FeatureName

or:

msiexec.exe /i {ProductCode} REMOVE=FeatureName

Thanks a lot Stefan. That did the trick.
