Distributing The Unattended Uninstallation Package
The Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD is pre‑configured to act as the unattended uninstallation package. To
distribute the package to one or more systems:
1. Configure the ISV distribution software to execute the msiexec.exe /x DVD Drive\<32–bit or 64–bit MSI
path on the DVD>/qb command, if you are using the DVD, after the unattended uninstallation package has been
distributed.
2. Use the ISV distribution software to distribute the typical unattended uninstallation package to the remote systems.
The program executes to uninstall managed systems software on each remote system.
3. Reboot each remote system to complete uninstallation.
Unattended Uninstall Command Line Settings
The Command Line Settings for MSI Installer table shows the unattended uninstall command line settings available for
unattended uninstallation. Type the optional settings on the command line after msiexec.exe /x <SysMgmt or
SysMgmtx64>.msi with a space between each setting.
For example, running msiexec.exe /x SysMgmt.msi /qb runs the unattended uninstallation, and displays the unattended
uninstallation status while it is running.
Running msiexec.exe /x <SysMgmt or SysMgmtx64>.msi /qn runs the unattended uninstallation, but silently
(without displaying messages.)
