Is there a switch or param setting for batch files to run an uninstall string silently?
Need to uninstall Novell client across our business and by placing the string in a batch file I can send it off to the users. It works great as long as the users click Yes to the uninstall. I would like to have the file uninstall the client silently and at boot up. Currently, because UI is required, I am sending out the batch, post startup, and during log on where the UI is required. Are there any command line switches I can imbed in a batch file, or params that can be set that will give me a silent uninstall? I have the source for one of the versions of Novell that I can turn into an msiexec uninstall; that will probably work fine for the majority of the uninstalls required, but I am dealing with an update to service pack 3 which I still need to locate source for a msiexec uninstall. Uninstall strings are easy to come by - hence the use of batch files.
Current batch file contains: %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32 "C:\Program Files\Novell\Client\ncsetup.dll" NWUninstallClient
Thanks, any help would appreciated.

My two cents...
Software applications - including network clients - are just a bunch of files and registry data. Find out what files and what registry data and build an uninstall script/package.
