How to create uninstallation package using SCCM 2007 for Microsoft Visio, Project, OneNote and SharePoint applications. Kindly provide some steps if it is possible. Regards, Pratap

You have to create a config-file to make the uninstall silent. For Project Standard it looks like this: <Configuration Product="PrjStd"> <Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="No" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" /> <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" /> </Configuration> For the other apps you need to modify the top line to match the product. You can find the value in the config.xml file in the <product>.WW folder on each media. The command line to run the uninstall: setup /config <path to config file> /uninstall PrjStd

you can try unstalling from uninstall string which you can find HKLM/software/microsoft/windows\currentversion\uninstall Find the key for the software that you wants to uninstall there you will find uninstall string. Now you need to create program/package with same uninstall string and target make sure you put "/qn" in commandline.

what version are these applications? Office 2003, 2007 or 2010 ?Don

2003Regards, Pratap

office 2003 uninstallation can be tricky. if you are installing office2007 or office2010, and want office2003 to be uninstalled, it doesn't always succeed. anyway, there is the office resource kit (ork) which offers several tools, and there are sms/sccm package definition files available which offer install and also uninstall options. you can also check at appdeploy.com for guidance.Don
