Hi,

How to uninstall Visio Premium 2010 silently in Windows 7 using config.xml file

 I have configured the config.xml file with the details below

<Configuration Product="Visio">

 <!-- <Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="No" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" /> -->
 
 <!-- <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" /> -->
 
 </Configuration>

Uninstall string:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE14\Office Setup Controller\setup.exe" /uninstall Visio /config "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\OFFICE14\Office Setup Controller\config.xml"

Are there any more switches to be added along with Uninstall string? 

Any suggestion?

Hi,

If you want to activate the Display element, you should remove the comment delimiters, "<!--" and "-->".

<Configuration Product="Visio">

<Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="No" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />
 
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
 
</Configuration>

Uninstall string Example:
\\server\share\Office14\setup.exe /uninstall Visio /config \\server\share\office14\Visio.WW\Config.xml

By default, the Config.xml file that is stored in the core product folder directs Setup to install that product. For example, the Config.xml file in the Visio.WW folder installs Visio Premium 2010.\\server\share\Office14\ is the path of the visio installation source files.

uninstall VisPrem and installVisPro (apply the VisPro product key during the installation, using either config.xml or an OCT-generated MSPfile)

Thanks William

It worked for me as well....
