Does anyone know how to make the Officescrub10 utility run silently and to suppress a restart?
Does anyone know how to make the Officescrub10 utility run silently and to suppress a restart? I’m testing this as part of our Office 2013 rollout. I need to get office 2010 32 bit to uninstall silently, suppressing restarts, so i can get office 2013 64 bit to install

Found some info on Scrub07 - which shows the switches you can use.
You would hope that they would be the same: http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/08/how-to-obtain-and-use-offscrub-to-automate-the-uninstallation-of-office-products.aspx

Look, an application - or even a suite like Office - is just a bunch of files and registry data. Instead of foolng around with some half-baked tool - which does who knows what to your workstations - find out why the new app isn't removing stuff cleanly.
If you're really stumped after that, then the solution is simple: build an uninstall MSI which unregisters all the DLLs (it's not hard to find these - they all have the word "DLLUnregister" in them!), deletes the app's root folder and any other extraneous folders it may have sprayed around. - anonymous_9363 11 years ago
