MyEclipse: [Installation] Unattended Uninstallation support-tony - Sep 12, 2011 - 12:03 PM Post subject: [Installation] Unattended Uninstallation
For release 9.0 and above, the uninstaller, like the installer, may be run in unattended mode, requiring no user interaction once initiated. To run in this mode, do the following:
Create an unattended response file.
The response file is a simple text file with only one property:
result.file=c:/Genuitec/unattended.log
where:
result.file
The absolute path to a file to which the uninstaller will add notes and errors. An error/status log is also created in the temp folder (the path to this log will be in the result file).
Run the uninstaller with the flag --unattended <absolute path to response file>
For example:
C:\Genuitec\MyEclipse\Uninstall\one-uninstall.exe --unattended c:\myfolder\response.txt
Remember that the path is absolute, so you need the full path, even if the response file is in the same folder as the installer.
Note that the response file may also be empty (but it cannot be missing). If the response file is empty, no result file will be written but a status/error file will still be written to the temp directory.
For information on unattended installation, see the separate FAQ on Silent Installation.
