Hi
my uninstall is not working when I want to do silent uninstall for a product through command line.
Surprisingly, it works when I manually go and do uninstall from add/remove programs.
I am using uninstall shield
the two commands which I have tried are:

1)
RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\engine\6\INTEL3~1\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{4D8E1EB0-BB63-11D4-B9E1-00C04F3BEF56}\Setup.exe" -l0x9 -s UNINSTALL /rs

2)
RunDll32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Engine\6\Intel 32\ctor.dll",LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{4D8E1EB0-BB63-11D4-B9E1-00C04F3BEF56}\Setup.exe" -l0x9 -s UNINSTALL /rs

Please let me know if one of you can figure out what could possibly the error.
when I use these command from command line th ecommand window closes and nothing happens, the product does not get uninstalled.
my e-mail id is a5kumar@fcg.com
thanks

I believe that a silent uninstall of a script based InstallShield setup requires a response file (.iss) specifically recorded for the uninstall.
