Hi,

How to uninstall silently the application installed using Basic MSI project type IS9.0. I am tying this using Installscript MSI project.

This application does not have the Uninstall string in the Registry.

Secondly, we need to use the .iss file path in command line.. as mentioned in the help .. But I don’t have that file and this application does not create this file while installing the application. How to use this file?

I don't know what command line parameter i have to use.

I have only Product code of the application.

Please help out me... I need it urgently.

Regards,
Shekhar

If you don’t have the string in the registry related to the uninstall process but, you have the product code and the kit, you can try from the command line with the following command line: msiexec.exe /x{your_product_code}

You need to create an .iss file by recording the uninstallation using the /r parameter. To run your uninstall silently you then use the /s parameter.
