I'm writing a script to remove certain unwanted software, some of which installs with MSIEXEC. I want to uninstall silently without user involvement.
So my script goes out and gets the UninstallString from the registry and I've already found that sometimes these specify /X and other times they specify /I, so I'm replacing /I with /X and adding /Q. That all works fine, but... If a reboot is required, the workstation reboots immediately. I want the reboot to be postponed until I've uninstalled all things that need to be uninstalled and I'm not seeing any command line switch for MSIEXEC to skip the reboot after a quiet uninstall. Anything undocumented out there? Or some alternative means of batch-uninstalling multiple programs with postponed reboot? Or maybe I don't even need to worry about a reboot because the script runs as a machine startup script? I'm still testing interactively.
