Silent uninstall for CC Desktop

Hi
Is there any way to exclude this Desktop app from packages created by the CC Packager (I think the latest version made its inclusion compulsory)? Failing that, can the uninstaller be run silently?
The problem we have is that our network is fairly tightly locked down, so the Desktop app can't perform many actions due to firewall/proxy settings. Instead it displays ugly errors if the user tries to launch the app or access the file sync features. It'd be a lot neater to not have this installed at all.
Many thanks
Ben

Silent Uninstall for Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I am trying to figure out a silent uninstall string for this and can't seem to figure it out. The scenario is this:
In a corporate setting, the two main apps are Office & IE... We want to have a silent install that can be run at any time...
Here is what i have tried and here is the results when Office & IE are open:

Unattended silent uninstall - Creative Cloud - Mac

I just followed the instructions here for an unattended silent uninstall for Adobe Creative Cloud. (The latest version out today - June 19, 2014)
Using the command line instructions is anything but silent. It opens the application and prompts the user to 'accept', then make choices.
How can we do this SILENTLY and UNATTENDED so that a remote user doesn't see it happening and is not required to do anything? The instructions are misleading and thus don't work as expected.

Hi alternapopmac.
On Mac OS, use the following command:
sudo installer -pkg <uninstall_pkg_name> -target /
When the uninstall is finished, check the install location to see that the applications were removed.
Note: Uninstall packages are not created for update package.

Error when uninstalling App-V RDS client: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character

Issue: experienced when attempting to uninstall the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS client.
Event Log: Product: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Client for Remote Desktop Services 5.0 Service Pack 2 x64 -- Error 1324. The folder
path 'C:' contains an invalid character
Symptoms (when in this current state):
Unable to uninstall the SP2 client
You can upgrade the client (via hotfix) and uninstall the hotfix, but you will not be able to remove the SP2 client
AppvVfs filter driver will not create an instance, therefore applications will not be able to read into existing streamed VFS content, or trigger sparse files to stream content. (you can still stream the content via other means, like the UI or powershell)
Because of the AppvVfs filter driver not instantiating, applications that depend on licences that exist in VFS will not be able to be read causing certain applications to react as if the license does not exist or is an incorrect format

Resolution:
Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder. (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
protected operating system files" to see it)
If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

Citrix Receiver For Widnows 4.1.200 (14.1.200.13) Silent Uninstall UAC Prompt

We deploy the receiver using SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 and I'm trying to get the uninstall to work silently (citrixreceiver.exe /silent /uninstall /noreboot). The problem I'm seeing is that when it goes to uninstall the updater it throws a UAC prompt trying
to run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Receiver\PrivService.exe /noservice /elevated".
What I can't understand is that the install/uninstall run under the SYSTEM account on SCCM so it should be running as elevated already.
I've also tried running ReceiverCleanupUtility.exe /silent and get the same result.
Anyone else ever seen anything like this? Turning UAC off is not an option.

I found a way around this problem. I was able to turn off UAC from the command line and then turn it back on once I was done. So my batch file looked similar to this:
%windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f%windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f citrixreceiver.exe /uninstall /silent /noreboot %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f%windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin /t REG_DWORD /d 5 /f

Silently uninstall Reader 9

Is there a way to silently uninstall Reader 9?

Download this link http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe and save to your desktop. After you save this you can run this script "<save path>\AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe" /sAll /rs /l /msi"/qb-! /norestart ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES to install it silently. The problem I'm having with this is that the EULA is supposed to be accepted by default and need no user interaction and this doesn't do that. I did download the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to create the .mst file to do all that but can't seem to get it to work properly. So if any has any clues about this please feel free to input. What I'm looking for is - auto accept the EULA, don't install acrobat.com/air flash, and updates to be turned off all by default so I can roll this out to over 100 users.

When reverting to purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro point product, after uninstalling Creative Cloud Desktop (and CC-based Acrobat XI Pro), how do I eliminate request to renew my subscription?

Creative Cloud just wasn't working for me, so after several years of frustration with being abroad and not online when the program decided to require online verification, I'm ditching Creative Cloud and reverting to the purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro point product. However, after uninstalling Creative Cloud Desktop (and CC-based Acrobat XI Pro), it still wants to go online and check my CC subscription, disallowing use of the newly installed point product version from a several year-old ESD file (and the more recent AcrobatUpd11010.dmg file).
Anyone have an idea of how to eliminate request to renew my subscription?
If, as a journalist, I've have these issues over the past two years, including this final insult when I'm trying to get away from CC, it can't be a one-off problem. So I'd like to hear details about others who've had a similar issue with reverting from CC back to a point product or to CS.
Thanks,
Tim

Internet Explorer 9 Silent Uninstall

Hello,
I created a custom IE9 install by using the Microsoft IEAK9. The source used for the custom install and destination OS is the same, Windows 7 Pro x86. My install works perfectly with the correct customizations. However, when I run the msiexec /x
{GUID} uninstall key from the command line, I am prompted to locate the IE9 Msi installer. When I point it to the IEAK Output MSI file (which it already had found) it complains about not being a valid IE installer package. When I look at the details of the
IE9-Setup-Full.msi I see a different product GUID than listed in the registry uninstall key, however if I attempt to use that key I get the "product is not installed" error. This is the command line used to install the package: MSIEXEC /I "\\serverpath\9.0\IEAK9OUTPUT\FLAT\Win32_WIN7\ENU\IE9-Setup-Full.msi"
/qn /norestart
I can run the uninstall from the control panel without any problems, but I like to have a silent uninstall script in case I need to perform a reinstall if I run into any issues during general deployment. Has anyone else run into this problem and know a way
to fix it?
Thank you

Hi,
You can try to use this methods to silent uninstall IE9:
(1)
Log in as Administrator
(2)
Close all IE browser windows
(3)
Open a "Command" windows by Clickin Start > Run > Cmd
(4)
Open "Notepad"
Copy and paste the text below into Notepad. This will convert
the html below into plain text:
FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*9.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart"
(5)
Next copy the text from Notepad and paste into the Command window at the disk prompt and then press the enter key.
(6)
After the commands run and the disk prompt returns, paste the text again and rerun the commands.
(7)
Next reboot to finalize / update the configuration with IE8.

UCCE 7.5 Silent Monitoring for only primary supervisor

Hi all,
We currently activate Silent Monitoring for our UCCE platform 7.5 using BIB and CCM based deployment.
I'd like to enable the feature for only the team primary supervisor. Meaning the same supervisor, if configured as secondary for a different team, can not monitor calls of members from that team.
Can someone please give me a hint?
Thank in advance,
Best Regards,

If it was CTIOS you could remove the button, recompile and deploy that Supervisor Desktop. But I guess you have CAD.
If it was the Cisco Agent Desktop you could create a workflow, remove a button (make it invisible), and assign this workflow to agents who did not require the function.
Not sure about CSD. I know you can remove buttons for everyone (we removed the one for Dynamic Reskilling) but I can't recall if you get the ability to do more.

Lync 2013 Basic Client Silent Uninstall

When attempting a silent uninstall of Lync2013, I am getting the message "Are you sure you want to remove Microsoft Lync Basic 2013 from your computer?
We've noticed you have other Office products that will remain installed after you uninstall this product. We recommend you Repair these products from the Programs and features item in your Control Panel once you're done uninstalling."
If we select 'yes' to continue the uninstall, it completes successfully, but displays another prompt upon completion "Microsoft Lync Basic 2013 has been successfully uninstalled" and requires the user to click 'Close.'
The environment we wish to uninstall Lync 2013 from has other Office 2010 products installed, and the do not seem to be affected by allowing this uninstallation to run.
I am using a config.xml file <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" NoCancel="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
This config.xml works great for a silent installation, but how can I disable the 2 prompts during an uninstallation?

Hello
TCUSYSADM,
For silent removal of Lync Basic 2013 I'm using a batch file with the following commandline:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE15\Office Setup Controller\setup.exe" /uninstall LYNCENTRY /dll OSETUP.DLL /config c:\temp\config_uninstall_Lync_Basic.xml
Where c:\temp\config_uninstall_Lync_Basic.xml looks like this:
<Configuration Product="LYNCENTRY">
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
</Configuration>
Start the batch file with the Run as Administartor option. Did not see any prompts.
Before this I tried to start the xml file from an UNC path, but that didn't work. So I copied the xml file to a local folder.

How do I create a silent install for Adobe Robohelp 11.0? AAMEE fails

I have tried to create a silent install for Adobe Roboehelp 11 using AAMEE v. 3.1 but after inserting "product installation folder", "package name" and "save to" and choosing "next" the picture just greys out.
If if choose "next" again I get to the options page but it is empty.
I tried using an older version of AAMEE and here I can create an unserialized build but it wont accept the my license code (which works fine if I install manually)
Does anyone know how to solve this?
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64 bit.
Best Regards,
Christian Roejbaek

Hi Christian,
You have to use Creative cloud packager (CCP) to create the package for RoboHelp 11, AAMEE will not work for the latest version. CCP will be available in your LWS website(www.licensing.adobe.com) . Download CCP from LWS website and create a package for RH 11.
Please refer to the below link for more information of CCP:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/creating-packages.html
Once you will reach "The Application and Updates screen " on CCP window then you have to click on "Add Offline Media" and select the "product installer folder" as RH 11 might not show in the list of products on that screen.
After creating the package:
Steps to follow to deploy silently on single machine:
1. Open CMD in Administrator mode.
2. Give the path till inside the build folder of the package. For Example if the build is saved on your Desktop the path in CMD should be as below:
C:\Users\[username]\Desktop\Packagefolder\packagename\Build>
3. Now type the following installation command: msiexec.exe /i packagename.msi /quiet
4. Launch Task Manager.
5.There will be three process of “msiexec.exe”
a) 6.One will be under System
b) 7.Other Two will be under [username].
8.Installation will be completed once both the process of msiexec.exe under the [username] are finished.
9.The installation process with take 5 to 10 minutes

Skype for Modern Windows and Skype for Windows Desktop on a tablet???

Hi All. I am a newby here so please be patient I have a 6 month old Toshiba Encore that comes installed with "Skype for Modern Windows". When I opened Skype today I received an advice/advert saying that this service will cease July 7 and I should uninstall and update to "Skype for Windows Desktop". News flash.... I have a tablet and it is telling me to install a Desktop version? Is this correct, dispite that my device is a (Windows 8.1) OS tablet, am I still required to make the conversion? Any advice most appreciated.

And just in case your next question is "Why". I am just a user like you so no inside knowledge but from what I have read it is partly down to the "Modern" version actually being based on "Old" tech, so it couldn't intergrate with the cloud based future of Skype and partly down to it isn't probably worth fixing (It had a lot of issues that I could see). Unfortunatly for some it is a bit inconvenient that it's being killed off before Windows 10 is released. The one thing I liked about the "Modern" version was the intergration with for example your contacts in the people app, but if you uninstall (Or when it gets killed off in a couple of weeks) you lose that intergration. I know you still have it in Outlook with intergration for the desktop version but to be honest Outlook isn't great on a seven inch tablet either. From my understanding when 10 is finally here and Skype catches up there will be full Skype intergration with your contacts again (Although I could be wrong and that is for the WP). Anyway, I for one would love MS to consider the universal app idea based on the WP version for smaller or all tablets. Maybe someone from Skype will reply?

Silent Uninstall Premiere Elements 10

Did somebody get managed a silent uninstall of Premiere Elements 10?
As far as I understood I have to deactive the product first before I'll do an uninstall.
Is there a smooth way to automatically deactivate the software?
In enterprise environment (SCCM deploy) Iam not able to do something manually...
The silent installation is pretty simple if you follow the instructions in this article:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-premiere-elements- 4.html
I searched a lot but I cant find something like that.
Chat- and telephone-support guided me in this forum.
Thanks in advance...

Back at the main page http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere there is a link to the PPro SDK... but I have never seen such for PreElements
I don't work for Adobe, but my GUESS is that PreElements is much more aimed at the home user market, so it is really made for the individual user, not big companies with "central, enterprise" controls
