MsiExec.exe Uninstall of SAV

**FastAndFurious** · May 1st, 2009, 10:59 AM

I need to uninstall all SAV 10.x using a GPO. I am 99% there but still hung up. GPO first runs .reg that removes the SAV uninstall password (works fine) then runs .cmd file

Code:

msiexec.exe /x{xxx-xxx-xxx}

When it hits this part, a window asking "are you sure..." with Yes and No buttons. I plan on running this as a startup script. I have added the /q but that doesn't work. Any ideas? Thank you

have you tried using the norton removal tool?

Thanks for the replay, but I don't believe that works with Symantec Corporate edition software. I had to leave and a currently gone for the week while in a class the so the solution was to have the help desk remove manually.

As far as I know, with any version of Symantec Antivirus, if the managed uninstall fails (pretty frequent occurrence) you are stuck with a manual removal that requires a bunch of Registry edits, and then some folder deletions. Tedious and annoying, but Symantec provides good instructions for all versions.
