Need help uninstalling app (Newbie)
I need to create a .cmd file (unless there is a better suggestion) to remove an older version of a custom app before a new one is installed in its place. I have tried creating a custom uninstall using the uninstall strings from the registry and it will also remove the directories when completed. I have messed around with this for a while so I am going to paste the barebones of what is needed for the uninstall. Everytime I have customized this and pushed it the clients accept it then it fails showing "Failed(Bad Environment) in SMS reporting. There are 2 apps, one is a custom app and the other is a SQL connectivity tool.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am very new to this, I think my syntax needs work :(
D:\PROGRA~1\CYBERP~1\EV\UNWISE.EXE D:\PROGRA~1\CYBERP~1\EV\EV_CINST.LOG
C:\WINNT\IsUninst.exe d:\MSSQL7\Uninst.isu -c"d:\MSSQL7\sqlsun.dll" -msql70.mif
rd "D:\PROGRA~1\CYBERP~1" /s /q
rd "d:\MSSQL7" /s /q
EXIT /B0

Its returning the error due to the fact its timing out on the client side.
The command line you are using is missing one switch that is crucial to a silent remove for uninstalling.
Change your code to look like this and you should be good to go:
D:\PROGRA~1\CYBERP~1\EV\UNWISE.EXE D:\PROGRA~1\CYBERP~1\EV\EV_CINST.LOG
C:\WINNT\IsUninst.exe-a d:\MSSQL7\Uninst.isu -c"d:\MSSQL7\sqlsun.dll" -msql70.mif
rd "D:\PROGRA~1\CYBERP~1" /s /q
rd "d:\MSSQL7" /s /q
EXIT /B0
