Hey Omar,

Two things:

  • Actionscript uses “{” as a special character for relevance substitution so you will need to escape it…
  • you can add “/quiet” to the command line for msiexec to make them silent…

How about this for your actionscript:

waithidden MsiExec.exe /I{{07287123-B8AC-41CE-8346-3D777245C35B} /quiet

Although, I thought for uninstalling, you would need to have the /x command like this:

waithidden MsiExec.exe /x{{07287123-B8AC-41CE-8346-3D777245C35B} /quiet

Ben, Thank you for the insight but still no go in BF.

Can you maybe help me with writing the relevance and action script. This is what I have gotten so far:

in the command line I can uninstall it and it does so quietly with the following:

MsiExec.exe /X{07287123-B8AC-41CE-8346-3D777245C35B} /quiet

Thanks in advance.

I tried this line in a Task and it worked for me:

waithidden MsiExec.exe /x {{07287123-B8AC-41CE-8346-3D777245C35B} /qn

Not sure if changing /quiet to /qn is what was holding you up. Also note what Ben wrote: you need an extra “left curly brace” in the actionscript that is not needed on the command line.

The Relevance I used in the Task was simply:

exists key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{07287123-B8AC-41CE-8346-3D777245C35B}” of Registry
