Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 silent uninstall?
The KB here has several entries for various Flash Builder-related items, but the posted uninstall strings look like they were pasted multiple times untila buffer ran out.
From the registry, I dug out:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe" --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="1.0" --mode="Uninstall" --mediaSignature="{1B4483F2-849C-4AC3-99B1-473FFC0192DD}"
That fires off an uninstall, but is not silent. I had found some hint that suggested that if this app was installed silently, it would uninstall silently, but that clearly isn't the case :-(
Firing off that .exe with --help or /? just sets it to looking for updates.

Problem... there is no uninstall-en_US.xml file anywhere in what the installer extracts. Assuming that isn't a huge file, could someone paste the contents in a response so I can try fiddling around with it?

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\_Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP_installation\Uninstall Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP.exe" appears to be the answer.
Thanks Adobe! Whatever you do, don't make this easy on anyone. Don't ever use the same mechanism twice... keep us guessing!

There are several different different entries for Flash Builder. In one, I was able to add a "Command Line". Most have no way to edit them, or alert anyone to edit them.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
