msiexec uninstall

[flyonthewall]

I already have an uninstall.vbs script. Is there an easy way to put this in a .au3 script?

I've tried the following below:

RunWait (@ComSpec &  "\\server\folder1\vbscripts\testuninstall.vbs", @SW_HIDE)

Should I try ShellExecute, or is there an better way? I will be running this script remotely, which

is why I need to hit the server.

Thank you for any help.

testuninstall.vbs below:

on error resume next

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {0B1774B2-3A08-4780-B13A-D401D2945208} /q",1,true

WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {9EADC6BD-33BB-4E38-9607-998FB0788751} /q",1,true

WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {E58F01AD-B636-4960-8827-266AD991AFCD} /q",1,true

WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {57F2EB35-AC12-42C6-AEE8-F3DC33F2C2D4} /q",1,true

WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {C1CCECCC-22D8-4542-B54A-D193BE81A0F3} /q",1,true

WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {0CD9E86D-5D7D-4614-961C-AA44ADA45A82} /q",1,true

WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {C1CCECCC-22D8-4542-B54A-D193BE81A0F3} /q",1,true

WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {CF592260-4681-4DD2-ACC9-853CF02D5E34} /q",1,true

I will use the following to start the .vbs:

RunWait ('\\server\folder1\vbscripts\starttestuninstall.bat', "", @SW_HIDE)

w/the .bat kicking off the .vbs

@echo off
\\server\folder1\vbscripts\testuninstall.vbs

Exit

maybe something better out there, but this works well enough.

Thanks

why dont you just include it and make it run inside your program.

making that long folder path is tedious

Thanks for the reply, but from my understanding you cannot start a .vbs from Run.

Yes you can, but you forgot to add /c switch after @ComSpec. Which it mean carries out the command specified and then terminates. You can use any of the following combinations:

RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c \\server\folder1\vbscripts\testuninstall.vbs", @SW_HIDE)

RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c start \\server\folder1\vbscripts\testuninstall.vbs", @SW_HIDE)

RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c wscript.exe \\server\folder1\vbscripts\testuninstall.vbs", @SW_HIDE)

In my case I will use ShellExecute.

Should also work without the BAtch and VBS file with something like these for each uninstall:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c msiexec /x {0B1774B2-3A08-4780-B13A-D401D2945208} /q',@TempDir,@SW_HIDE)

- or -

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "msiexec /x {0B1774B2-3A08-4780-B13A-D401D2945208} /q"',@TempDir,@SW_HIDE)

Thank you very much for the replies all. I will give these a try.
