Uninstalling Google chrome

Hello, i need help in uninstalling Google chrome 31.0 silently. I have installed the application using Google Chrome standalone setup.exe /silent. Now i am running C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\31.0.1650.59\Installer>setup.exe --uninstall --multi-install --chrome --system-level from command prompt, this gives me a pop up to select if i want to delete browser history / set default browser to IE, and IE launches for feeback. I want to skip these steps and silently uninstall google chrome, any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Shree

  • Just so that you're aware, there is an MSI installer in the form of Chrome for Business

    http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en-GB/chrome/business/browser/admin/

    Using this obviously means that can you use standard MSI uninstall commands. - dunnpy 10 years ago
