SAS 9.2 silent UNINSTALLATION
hi guys, just need your help. I already search and read threads about SAS 9.2 but only its installation appears. I succeeded silent installing SAS 9.2, BUT for the silent uninstallation I failed. >.<
For installation i used the -record to create response file (based on SAS deployment wizard user's guide.pdf). First, i thought that its the same concept with uninstallation that you need to create its response file during the uninstallation process which you should "delete order" steps. What i got on its response file was only this.
----
#Response file for the SAS Deployment Wizard
#Created: <date>
#Responses with multiple options are separated with / characters.
#Select Deployment Task
#Select the deployment task you would like to perform.
#START_TASK=install/depot/manage
START_TASK=manage
----
I run the command \setup.exe -quiet -responsefile <path>\uninstall.properties - UAC prompt, Deployment wiz displays then nothing happens.. my guess is the response file is incomplete..btw, im installing it in vista.
EDIT: just found out that this will not uninstall the app. it will just remove the order. i saw some uninstallation procedure on enterprise edition. And once that works. ill delete this post. thank guys!

I'm using this:
C:\Progra~1\InstallShield Installation Information\{FB8E4~1\setup.exe -removeonly "uninstall" -s
I pulled it from the uninstall key in the registry and it seems to work.

ah yes thanks turbo, i tried that last night and it worked. i guess theres no way to uninstall the whole SAS 9.2 with its component at the same time. You must uninstall them 1 by 1. hmm... ok great! thanks again turbo!
EDIT: correction, it did not work. [:@], what i did last night was without -s
I got this reg uninstallstring:
RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\RunTime\11\00\Intel32\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{F9390B82~}\setup.exe" -l0x9 -removeonly uninstall W32
I added -s but sadly it doesnt work [X(], tried with several switches but again it fails.

Doesn't InstallShield use the '/' character instead of '-'? Try that: what's to lose?

That's odd, because I pulled that string out of our deployment tool.. and it works for us.
Are you sure you're not having nested quotes or long file names issues?

You say that you tried to create an uninstall response file. Forgive me, but isn't it the case that one uses the same response file for both install and uninstall? I thought that for uninstall, the engine simply "reverses" the instructions in the file?

sorry for the confussion, the uninstall response file that i had created would not remove the app itself(see my edited 1st post above), it will remove the order/purchase stuff or simple it will remove your source files.. luckily i have my backup but if not, im totally dead.
from what turbo suggested, C:\Progra~1\InstallShield Installation Information\{FB8E4~1\setup.exe -removeonly "uninstall" -s,
i just simply pulled out the uninstallstring from the reg then run it in cmd.
RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\PROFES~1\RunTime\11\00\Intel32\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{F9390B82~}\setup.exe" -l0x9 -removeonly uninstall W32
pressed enter then it uninstall in UI interface succesfully, adding -s or /s was not succesful. I wish the engine 'reverses' the process for uninstall. [X(]

Hi all.
I took the uninst.iss file from my install dir and it worked!!!!
For (just about) all the SAS software to uninstall silently, use:
"C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{F9390B82-786C-43CF-A970-D39E23EF0366}\setup.exe" /removeonly uninstall /s /f1"[PATH]\uninst.iss"
The uninst.iss file you want is likely in this path: ...SASWIN 9.2\depot\products\sasinstall__92210__win__en__sp0__1\sas
Good luck all!
I'll paste my file below:
[InstallShield Silent]
Version=v7.00
File=Response File
[File Transfer]
OverwrittenReadOnly=NoToAll
[Application]
Name=The SAS System
Version=9.2
