Answer» I found the following syntax to REMOVE a program.
"C:\WINDOWS\SomePath\xxxIM.exe" /remove "C:\WINDOWS\SomePath\IM_20080-40301-1100-200\xxxim\xxxIM_installed.xml"
Are there any other switches that can be used here?
For example; running SILENTLY without user input and accepting defaults
Thanks,
BradYou mean switches for the (oddly named) xxxIM.exe? That path sure looks odd! I doubt if anyone knows. Why don't you try
"C:\WINDOWS\SomePath\xxxIM.exe" /?
Yes, switches or parameters.
I just modified the path so SOMETHING generic since the actual program path/NAME didn't seem to be that relevant. The "xxxIM.exe" is an Installation Manager.
I tried your idea; it ignored the help switch and ran the installation manager.
The point I was trying to make is that there is not a standard set of switches that all programs (and commands) have. It depends on what switches the writer of the program DECIDED to build into it. You asked what other switches are available in some disguised program whose name we do not know. The answer is, therefore, "nobody can tell". Okay, I didn't know that. The program is SolidWorks and the IM is sldIM.exe. I assume not many people would know details about this software on this forum, that is why I made the path and name more generic or disguised.
Thanks.
