Silent Uninstall w/ no reboot tag?

[DClark]

Long time no post, guess that means things are going well

Looking at doing a mass upgrade to v2.45 from version 2.x (way before 2.4). The issue is, when you install the new version, you have to uninstall the old version first. We have to push this install via SCCM to 1,000 machines (our licensed quantity).

We wrote an executable that looks for "%root%\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\unins000.exe" using various tags such as /silent, /verysilent, /noreboot, etc. If found, uninstalls the old and then installs the new using tags as well.

Is there a tag to make sure the machine doesn't reboot with the uninstall? In our testing, we are getting about 1/5 machines that reboots during this process. While it may not be associated to the uninstall, it almost seems like if there is a pending reboot waiting on the machine, the uninstall will trigger a reboot.

Hard to push the software to the machines if we have machines rebooting.

Thanks!

Hi DClark,

Glad to hear that things are going OK

It might need a deeper examination but at first reading I saw that you have typed /noreboot , while the command our uninstaller is expecting is
/NORESTART
Can you please check if that is the case?

Best,
Stefan

you are correct, i mistyped. we are trying to use /norestart.

I didn't see any documentation on uninstallation tags, which is what prompted this question.

Thanks!

Hello DClark,

We are using InnoSetup to build our .exe installers so I hope you will find this helpful:
