Uninstall .msi silently

Post by NeeeeB »

Hi,
Please, how do I unnstall my .msi package silently ?
running
mypackage.msi /s MODIFY=FALSE REMOVE=TRUE UNINSTALL=YES
brings the msiexec help windows....
and
msiexec /quiet /uninstall 4.8.12.23067.msi
brings the UI to select uninstall or repair...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated (.msi are installed with commandline, SILENT:TRUE and ALLUSERS:TRUE)

Thanks.

That command gives the same result also :

msiexec /qn /x ..\..\MyPackage.msi

Wizard appears every time.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
