Silent Command line switches for UninstallToo.exe

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I am trying to Uninstall Autodesk Inventor professional 2017 via the uninstall utility : "C:\program files(x86)\common files\autodesk shared\uninstall tool\R1\uninstall tool.exe"

 

 

Is there any option I can run this exe silently? 

 

I am trying to do a complete uninstallation silently. I believe this exe can do major uninstallation of the product..still may require a cleanup.

 

Thanks, Tabs

i would like to know this to as the uninstaller via the control panel fails to cleanly remove itself but the uninstalltool.exe removes it fine enough to reinstall without it crashing Bentley

the product i am trying to silently and cleanly uninstall and reinstall is Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2018

 

I have currently submitted a case with support and they suggested to use the following link advise which is just using the msi installer to do them - but this does not work for us as the uninstall fails to cleanly work thus a reinstall crashes Bentely pre-req.

Pending Autodesk Support feedback - i really dont understand why they are not providing a silent option for their uninstalltool.exe all or via a product name via command line, or using the installation file.  Why are they expecting paid users to clean their mess up when users dont know how to technically accomplish such low lever effort - their tool works so why not make it work properly at uninstall time - why oh why!?

The tech said to use the following link but i have already informed them it does NOT cleanly remove itself as it fails to successfully reinstall - even after reboots so what can we use to do this silently ?  : https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-Uninstall-Autodes...

 

My repsonse is that this is not what we are looking for – because it FAILs to uninstall the Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2018 media cleanly – as a result the product fails to function and crashes the Bentley pre-req only when it is reinstalled – meaning the uninstall does NOT work properly.

 

However, if we use the uninstalltool.exe that the Autodesk installs with, then it works and reinstalls fine but how do we run that tool silently \ unattenedly? 

 

Again, my question is : what is the silent \ unattended command lines I need to uninstall this software with – hopefully you can provide me with silent \ unattended command lines for the unisntalltool.exe instead of the MSI installer method.  If there is not way to do this silently then what way really can do it properly – without expecting our users to go lookiong for rogue files that your product installer fails to function properly and clean its self-up properly at uninstall time?
