Performing a Silent Uninstallation

Silent uninstallations automate the uninstallation process so that you can uninstall EPM System products on multiple computers without manually specifying uninstallation settings on each machine.

To uninstall EPM System products on multiple computers using the same uninstallation options, record a response file during installation. You can then run a silent uninstallation from the command line, using the options that were saved in the response file.

  To run a silent uninstallation:

  1. Copy the response file that you created during installation to the machine on which you want to run the uninstallation. You can also copy the file to a network drive that is accessible from the machines on which you want to uninstall.

    For information about recording a response file during installation, see Performing Silent Installations.

  2. From the command line, enter a command:

    uninstall.cmd -silent filename

    for Windows or 

    uninstall.sh -silent filename

    for UNIX.

    The uninstallation runs in the background.
