Problem:
What is the command line that should be usd to uninstall Mainframe Express v2.5?
Resolution:
Use the following:
%windir%\\mfeuni25.exe /FILE=MERANTMFE25Uninst.dat /SMS
You can silently uninstall any products which use our wrapper install technology, without the need to go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. You first need to work out the values of Uninstaller and UninstallTag below the [Setup] section of the file wrapper.ini, which can be found in the root of your product Installation CD.
For example in Mainframe Express v2.5:
Uninstaller=mfeuni25.exe
UninstallTag=MERANTMFE25
Ensuring that you are logged on as the same user which originally installed the product, you should run the following to uninstall your product silently:
%Uninstaller% /FILE=%UninstallTag%Uninst.dat /SMS
For example for Mainframe Express 2.5 you should run:
mfeuni25.exe /FILE=MERANTMFE25Uninst.dat /SMS
Note for Mainframe Express only - if you uninstall Mainframe Express via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, at the end of the uninstall process you are given the option to remove various Product and User files (\\mfuser). If you run a silent uninstall of this product then none of these files will be removed and you will not be prompted to remove any.
