We're preparing to upgrade to version 10 and I need to prepare removal of our existing client installs. Does version 7.2.1 have any silent parameters that can be used to uninstall?
What are my options for this?
Hi
For this to work you need to use cmd line. first go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Laserfiche\Client
and then run setup.exe with following parameters to uninstall
setup.exe /odll /remove
now to use silent or no ui following are your command line options
/remove silent noui finishedprereqs log noupdate nopatch lang iacceptlicenseagreement ignorependingreboot remove odll arp removeupdate removepatch
I took these from clinet 10 but i am sure these must be same for your version as well. please let me know if this works for you.
I don't recall if version 7 supported silent uninstall (The paramaters Junaid listed above are for 8 or later), but you should be able to install the 10 directly over it and it will handle uninstalling the old one for you. Give that a try, if that works you can skip the uninstall step and just bulk deploy v10.
I actually just finished experimenting with a couple of machines and figured it out. Thanks for the assist, though.
Copy original client installer to remote machine
CD to installer dir
msiexec /quiet /uninstall "Laserfiche Client 7.2.msi"
