Solid Edge Uninstalling a maintenance pack silently

Is it possible to uninstall a Solid Edge maintenance pack silently?

Solution

Yes, it is possible to uninstall Solid Edge maintenance packs silently. 


In order to perform a silent uninstall, you must know both the base Solid Edge product code GUID and the Solid Edge maintenance pack GUID to be uninstalled. The GUIDs can be determined by interrogating the Solid Edge registry, log files, etc. 


Here is the command line to silently uninstall Solid Edge ST9 MP7 back to its previous patch level and not reboot the workstation:


msiexec /package {1E02E133-6790-460A-B9C7-9CEA71CB502A} /uninstall {4B583A98-0E3F-467D-B59C-AE615C158335} /quiet /norestart /log C:\Temp\ST9MP7_uninstall.log
