Hi, I am relatively new to bigfix. I have an older application that I need to uninstall silently. I created an Uninstall.msi file using an MSI creator and it works fine when I run the application on the local machine. I am now trying to get this msi pushed out via bigfix, but I can’t seem to get it working correctly. (it doesn’t actually uninstall).

I am sure I am missing a simple step.

here is the action script I tried (I also tried it with the /x but it did not work.

wait “{pathname of system folder & “\msiexec.exe”}” /i “{(pathname of client folder of current site) & “__Download\uninstallFrame7.1.msi”}”

Any help would be appreciated.

Does this uninstaller need to run as the current user? Running via the Agent (without using RunAsCurrentUser.exe) means that the uninstaller is being run as the SYSTEM user.

Good question I am not sure. Is there an easy way to see? I will try runningit as current user and see if this makes a difference
