rnj Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I am trying to execute the following, the $value contains Uninstall string value(eg: 56DCEBC6-5C13-11D4-9981-00D0B72E2D98}) RunWait("MSIEXEC /X" & $value & "/qn") I am wondering about how to use the /qn switch in the above RunWait, as /qn comes after the $value variable in the command. MSIEXE /X {Uninstall String} /qn Any Thanks in advance.

peter1234 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 rnj See help file ... RUN WAIT only works with executable file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.underperson Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 No, the spaces was the answer (it's what I was gonna say). And MSIEXEC IS an executable. You don't need ".exe" after it, Windows knows. Do... RunWait("MsiExec"); And you will see. Something else must be wrong with the command, no? Does windows let you run the quiet uninstall string like that? Dunno, never tried. -mu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (eg: 56DCEBC6-5C13-11D4-9981-00D0B72E2D98})First of all I think that should be (eg: {56DCEBC6-5C13-11D4-9981-00D0B72E2D98}) but that might have just been a typo.If {56DCEBC6-5C13-11D4-9981-00D0B72E2D98} is a registry key (it looks like it) then you will likely have to do a RegRead to get the value. I don't know for sure because the less I have to do with MSI the better. As Microsoft screwups go it runs a close second to Windows ME as far as I am concerned.
