Registry values

I have a silent uninstall which works from command prompt if I navigate to the right folder and run "setup.exe /x /s "uninstall.iss".

So, basically I navigate to C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\\"setup.exe /x /s "uninstall.iss".

and it works!!

Problem: for every install this is different. How do i obtain this value. from cmd prompt

Did you really check if GUID is different? I doubt so!

The GUID in this folder is nothing but the product code which will be constant across the machines. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, I checked, the guid in the general Information>product properties is different fromthe GUID generated when I install. And the GUID generated when I install is always different. i guess it would also make sence coz if i have two or more installs of the same product then each install will have a unique GUID right? I could be totally wrong but this is what i noticed trying to get the uninstall to work from command prompt
