Kindle Silent Uninstall
Hi All,
Just wondered if anyone had found a way to silently uninstall Kindle For Pc using a batch file. From the registry it has been found that the uninstall string is C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle For PC\uninstall.exe.
I have tried using
msiexec.exe /x "C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle For PC\uninstall.exe" /Silent / Passive
msiexec.exe /x "C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle For PC\uninstall.exe" /QN
msiexec.exe /x "C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle For PC\uninstall.exe" /Q
msiexec.exe /x "C:\Program Files\Amazon\Kindle For PC\uninstall.exe" /Silent
I am fairly new to creating uninstall batch files so any help would be appreciated.

John,
as the Kindle installer is not an MSI - the MSIEXEC commnandlines you have mentioned will not work.
You are correct in assuming that you need to call 'uninstall.exe', but you need to have a silent switch with it:
uninstall.exe /S
Note the capitalisation of the letter 'S', a lower case 's' will launch the uninstaller with a GUI interface.
The /S also works for a silent installation of the software too.
As it's a slow Friday afternoon I downloaded the Kindle software and had a 5 minute play to ascertain this info.
Hope that helps,
Dunnpy

Thanks for the /S option for Installation. It seems to install to c:\users\username\... Can this be changed?
