Uninstall ViceVersa with command line?

Hello,

I’m trying to automate an upgrade of ViceVersa from build 2501 to 2513. I have pretty much everything down except for the uninstall of 2501 prior to installing 2513. Going into this, I thought 2501 was installed with an .msi, but that is not the case. /uninstall when applied to the installer for 2501 doesn’t do it either.

Is there a command line to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

yes, you can use the program unins000.exe that is to be found in the ViceVersa installation folder.

The uninstaller program accepts optional command line parameters.

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

When specified, the uninstaller will not ask the user for startup confirmation or display a message stating that uninstall is complete. Any critical error messages will still be shown on the screen. When '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstallation progress window is not displayed.

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

Instructs the uninstaller to suppress message boxes. Only has an effect when combined with '/SILENT' and '/VERYSILENT'.

/LOG

Causes Uninstall to create a log file in the user's TEMP directory detailing file uninstallation and actions taken during the uninstallation process. This can be a helpful debugging aid.

The log file is created with a unique name based on the current date. (It will not overwrite or append to existing files.)

/LOG="filename"

Same as /LOG, except it allows you to specify a fixed path/filename to use for the log file. If a file with the specified name already exists it will be overwritten. If the file cannot be created, Uninstall will abort with an error message.

Viceversa Pro 3 won't uninstall even with extended command (/VERYSILENT ... /SUPPRESSMSGEBOX) line options? (Message " viceversa is running" has no FEEDBACK with startup programs or instance running in activity manager).

Hi, if ViceVersa and/or VVLauncher are running, ViceVersa will not uninstall.
