Uninstall Office 2010 SP2
Hi there,
I need some help with uninstalling
Office 2010 SP2 silently. We have a few user's Office 2010 have SP2 installed.
I am looking for a way to just uninstall SP2, not the whole Office 2010
I found the following uninstall
command
"C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\Oarpmany.exe"
/removereleaseinpatch "{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}"
"{DE28B448-32E8-4E8F-84F0-A52B21A49B5B}" "1033"
"0"
Then created a Managed install and
paste the uninstall command line in Full command line below
Added a test PC which has SP2 install
in the managed install. I did get the pop up to say it’s uninstalling SP2.
So I tried to add /VERYSILENT
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART, but it doesn’t seem to do anything at all.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi
thanks for the reply.
I found the reg key under uninstallString it's just the command i have in KACE
My guess is these string like "1033" "0" should stand for something, there should be one for silent uninstall, but i dont know what it is.

I did give it a go on my test machine, but no options that MS gives works.
You can uninstall office completely and reinstall it.
Or make an AutoIT script to click a button, then run this in the background.
But big change reboot will still happen...

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Yes, that is the reg key i put in uninstall command. But i dont know what the silent option is.

standard silent switches are /qn or /qb depending on whether you want a basic progress dialog (/qb) or for it to be totally silent (/qn). in you case you could try adding /qb at the end of the uninstall string eg ..."{DE28B448-32E8-4E8F-84F0-A52B21A49B5B}" "1033" "0" /qb - anonymous_89149 10 years ago

This was tried, but when executing with any silent option, the Oarpmany.exe doesn;t execute. - dedenker 10 years ago
- You need the original installation source - from here you start the uninstall routine
- in one of the subfolders (e.g. for Office standard is it "Standard.WW") you have to create a "config_uninstall.xml" with the following content:
<Configuration Product="Standard"> <Display Level="basic" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /> --> </Configuration> |
- this is the uninstall command for Office Standard edition (runs only from the original installation source):
setup.exe /uninstall Standard /config config_uninstall.xml
