setup.exe version 6,10

hi i have been trying to create a silent uninstall for an application called Objective groupwise integration,

i have tried the folowing

Y:\Objective\Xlinks\Xlinksgw\Setup.exe -s -f1"c:\setup.iss" -u
Y:\Objective\Xlinks\Xlinksgw\Setup.exe -s -f1"c:\setup.iss" /x
Y:\Objective\Xlinks\Xlinksgw\Setup.exe -s -f1"c:\setup.iss"-u
Y:\Objective\Xlinks\Xlinksgw\Setup.exe /s /f1"c:\setup.iss" /u

when i check the properties of the setup.exe.

under the version tab

Company name InstallShield Software Corporation
Internal Name Setup Launcher
Language English (United States)
Original Filename Setup.exe

Product Version 6, 10

on the copyright part it shows

Unfortunately, silent uninstalls such as this aren't fully/truly supported in that version because despite the fact you can make/record an ISS (InstallShield Script) file, you can't play it back.

Instead you may need to customize the setup code to make it behave in a silent fashion.

However, why you are trying to run the regular setup again and not the actual copy from the uninstall information? Is it because you have maintenance based up? 'cause really you should be running the latter with the switches like -uninst -s.

i run setup.exe -r -u this creates the iss file at last

and then run

(application path)\Setup.exe -s -u -f1"(application path)gwun.iss"

this has uninstalled silently at last.

Hmm, I've never had any luck with making that work, and I don't see how your final solution is much different from what you tried before. Therefore, is there really anything special to play back or did you leave out a step?
