How to hide the windows

[smartmanwin]

Hi

I wonder if someone can help me with this one. I have done most of the part already just few things I want to have clear idea about. Also this is the first time I am using such a great tool.

Below is a working script that I am using to uninstall a software from the users computer. I want to apply this uninstallation through SMS silently with no user interaction. Most of the users have only power rignts but the sms uses the system account to install software I hope it can work using the autoit compiled script.

Please let me know how to hide the the windows so it can be seamless. Right now it is working when I run it on my computer but I can see the mouse moving and clicking the buttons. I just want it silent and seamless to the users when it is advertised to the users computers. Please let me know if there are limitations in using SMS.

Many thanks,

If it were me I'd be looking in the registry for an uninstall switch on the installer for that software. Start here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

Try it with a /quiet or /S switch if you find it. Juniper must have documentation on how to remove it through command line.

Juniper does not have any thing on silent uninstallation but mostly is manualy uninstall.

I have really exshauted all my efforts on a the command line switch.

The unistall string on the registry is

RunDll32 C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\engine\6\INTEL3~1\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\Juniper\NetScreen-Remote\Setup\Setup.exe" -l0x9

I have also tried also creating the answer file using this command setup.exe /s /f1"C:\myanswerfile.iss"

/s swtch is working silently with the answer file.iss that I created but the issue is right when the uninstall is done the computer restarts itself with no warning. Even though I made sure the bootoption=0.

Here is the answer file if you check it yourself.

I am curious what was the perfect solution?

[Rishav]

i had a good solution too.

get myuninstall and find the registry entry.

then run MsiExec.exe /x /qn <Package name>

Sorry this is a legacy program with no built in windows installer as far as I know.
