Running a Silent Uninstallation

Make sure you have the correct version of the modified SilentUninstall_Win.txt file, in the correct location on the host where you want to run a silent uninstallation, then run the SilentUninstall_Win.bat script from a command prompt.

  1. For each type of uninstallation you want to automate, perform a trial run of these instructions using your modified SilentUninstall_Win.txt configuration files, on a temporary or test server host.
    Confirm that each modified configuration file produces the desired uninstallation outcome, before you proceed with silent uninstallation on an actual target host.
  2. On the host where you want to run a silent uninstallation, confirm that the <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Uninstallers\UnwiredPlatform\ directory contains the correct version of the SilentUninstall_Win.txt configuration file that you modified for a particular uninstallation type.
  3. From a command prompt on the installation target host, navigate to the <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Uninstallers\UnwiredPlatform\ directory and launch the silent uninstallation script:
    SilentUninstall_Win
  4. Check for errors in <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\InstallLogs\UPUninstall.log.
  5. Repeat these steps on different servers for each different type of uninstallation you are automating.
