Uninstall one or more versions of a msi-package/-product

scripts and guide by M.Marten 2014/10/27 18:18

Information

deutsch

Dies ist ein Beispiel dafür, wie alle Versionen eines Programmes, die via msiexec installiert wurden mit einer einzigen Anweisung deinstalliert werden können.
Hierzu wird das von mir erstellte Tool “UninstMsi.exe” verwendet. Die entsprechenden Scripte werden via 'include_insert' eingebunden.

Es ist nicht notwendig entsprechende Produkt GUIDs für die einzelnen Versionen zu kennen.
Es wird automatisch für jedes einzelne deinstallierte Produkt der ExitCode überprüft.

Ein “Simulationsmodus” erlaubt es, eine Deinstallationsanweisung zu testen, ohne das eine tatsächliche Deinstallation durchgeführt wird.

english

This is an example of how all versions of a program that was installed via msiexec can be uninstalled with a single statement.
For this purpose, the tool I created “UninstMsi.exe” is used. The corresponding scripts are integrated via 'include_insert'.

It is not necessary to know the corresponding product guids for each version.
It is automatically checked for every single uninstalled the product exit code.

A “simulation mode” allows to test a statement uninstall without having an actual uninstallation is performed.
