Removing DivX?

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Anyone have a fixlet to silently remove the DivX community codec? I tried contacting DivX and they said their uninstaller has no silent option (though I find it hard to believe). Everytime I kick up the uninstall, it waits for the user to click the uninstall button.

Maybe someone’s already done it?

Hey Paul,

Do you know what kind of installer it is? MSI, InstallShield?

What is the uninstall command line?

No, it looks like it might be their own home-brewed uninstaller. Nothing that gives it away to one type or another. The uninstallstring is:

C:\Program Files\DivX\DivXCodecUninstall.exe /CODEC

I have a feeling the only way is to capture the setup to see what it did, and manually undo it.
