Silent uninstalls not working
I am having a problem.
I make a setup package called myAppSetup.exe with installshield express2008 and everything installs just fine.
I want to do a silent uninstall and am trying to use the MsiExec.exe /x {ProductString}/qn at the winXP Start|Run command line
I keep getting an error message that it cannot open the msi file.
If I run it just as MsiExec.exe /x {ProductString} then I get the dialog boxes and I can uninstall using them.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated.
My MsiExec.exe is - Windows ® Installer. V 3.01.4000.1823

Put the space between package code and options ...
MsiExec.exe /x {ProductString} /qn
MsiExec.exe /x {ProductString} /qn
