Could you please share Silent switch for Cute PDF Writer printer entry was not getting removed from the Devices and Drivers section during uninstall.

Application name : Cute PDF Writer 

Cute PDF Writer printer entry was not getting removed from 

the Devices and Drivers section, I figured out that this 

could be achieved by triggering a Setup64.exe(Install 

directory) via command line with certain parameters 

/Uninstall /S during uninstall.But it doesn't work

Please share Silent switch for Cute PDF Writer printer.

here is a VBS script


Set KillShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set CuteShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

KillShell.Run "Taskkill /f /IM Setup64.exe"

WScript.Sleep 500

CuteShell.Run """c:\Program Files (x86)\Acro Software\CutePDF Writer\Setup64.exe"" /uninstall", 9 

WScript.Sleep 500 

CuteShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

WScript.Sleep 500 

CuteShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"


that will automatically hit the buttons for you and uninstall CutePDF worked for me I uninstalled this off 30 machines in 5 mins.
