Summary
How to uninstall a setup.exe silently which contains Multi-InstancesSynopsis
When attempting to silently uninstall a setup.exe which contain Multiple-Instances you may find that the uninstall fails using the normal approach of: setup.exe /s /v/qn
Discussion
When uninstalling a setup.exe via the command line which contains multi instance it is necessary to state which instance is being targeted.
This is done by using the /instance= switch
For example:
- /instance=1 This will target instance 1 of the installation
- /instance=default This will identify the instance that is installed by the base installation package
- Setup.exe /s /instance=default /x /v/"qn"
