Silent uninstall of Adobe Reader X
Morning all, I am trying to silently uninstall Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) from my machines through a KACE script.
If I use the command: msiexec.exe /x {GUID}, it does attempt to uninstall it but it prompts the users to confirm. If I then add any other switches to my command (such as /quiet, /qn etc) it fails completely.
Has anyone managed to get this to work before?
Dave.

Was it installed using an msiexec command line?
Does it work correctly if you manually run it on a machine, with the '/qn' switch?
What does EventViewer tell you about the failed uninstall?

Reader has tie-in's into Office and IE (i think). Do a silent uninstall as Dunnpy mentioned with the q/ and but also log it. You will probaly find it will be moaning about a open process in Outlook. - rileyz 11 years ago

Run the command msiexec /x {GUID} /qn and I am using the next sub to disable the security warnigs:
Sub DisableSecurity()
Dim objEnvProc, objWSH
Set objWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objEnvProc = objWSH.Environment("PROCESS")
objEnvProc("SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS") = 1
End Sub
