SUMMARY This step-by-step article describes how to silently remove
Visual Studio .NET when it has been installed in administrator
mode. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET offers an administrator mode setup
that you can use to perform silent installation and deployment to a client
computer. When you run the uninstall program in the unattended mode, Setup
silently removes the administrator designated options without any user
interaction or display. Create the INI File for Removing the ProgramYou will create an .ini file that is based on the options you
select for removal. Setup uses this .ini file to remove Visual Studio .NET on
the remote computer. Note Before you perform the steps to remove the program, you must have
Visual Studio .NET installed on the administrator computer. To create
the uninstall .ini file, follow these steps: - Insert Visual Studio .NET CD 1 or DVD, and then close the autorun message.
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- Type the following path:
n:\setup\Setup.exe /createunattend path of INI file\INI File Name For example: d:\setup\setup.exe /createunattend c:\vs7_uninstall.ini - On the Visual Studio .NET Maintenance screen, click Uninstall Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. The uninstall .ini file is created automatically at the location
that you specified in step 3. For example, C:\Vs7_uninstall.ini.
The Done link appears on the Visual Studio .NET Maintenance screen when
the program has successfully created the .ini file and saved it at the
specified location. - Click Done to close the Visual Studio .NET Maintenance screen.
Remove Visual Studio .NET The following steps describe how to use the .ini file that you
created in the previous procedure to remove the selected options of Visual
Studio .NET in the unattended mode: - Verify that Visual Studio .NET is available on the network computer. (See "Creating a Network
Image" in the Adminreadme.htm file. This documentation is located on Visual
Studio .NET CD 1 or DVD.)
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- Type the following path:
"\\computer\share\...\setup\Setup.exe" /unattendfile path of .INI file\.INI File Name For example: "\\Computer\VisualStudio\setup\setup.exe" /unattendfile "\\computer\share\vs7_uninstall.ini" - Click OK.
