Uninstall application which prompts using VB Script

Question

Hi

I have an application which was deployed some time ago using an .msi and a .mst

When I now try to uninstall the app using msiexec /x name_of_msi TRANSFORMS=name_of_mst /qb! I get a prompt asking if I would like to remove the ini files which were installed. Is there any way to uninstall the application and answer "Yes" to the prompt using a vbscript.

Thanks

G

Have you tried employing the /passive or /quiet switch?

/quiet - quiet mode (no user interaction)
/passive - unattended mode (progress bar only)

/q - set the UI level:

• n - no UI
• b - basic UI
• r - reduced UI
• f - full UI

Try:
msiexec /x name_of_msi TRANSFORMS=name_of_mst /qn /quiet
or
msiexec /x name_of_msi TRANSFORMS=name_of_mst /qn /passive
