I know this isn't the correct forum, but I cannot find anything like it...

My Windows Installer setup must upgrade software that is built with InstallShield Professional 5.1. I know how to detect its existance, and where to find the uninstall command - in my case it is something like:
"C:\WinNT\IsUn0413.exe" -f"<path to uninst.isu>" -c"<path to helper.dll>"
... but it shows a UI.

Who remembers how to modify such a command, to get it silent? The real bonus question: is it possible to detect that the uninstall requires a reboot (eg. a special return code?).

Thanks in advance. I can't believe I forgot this, and that I can't find it anywhere in IS....
