IBM GC23-7753-05 manual Command

Page 53

 

The command records the uninstallation options as you perform them and

 

stores them in a response file. If you do not specify the location of the response

 

file, by default the uninstallation sequence is saved in %WINDIR%\setup.iss.

 

2. To perform the silent uninstallation on another system, or to uninstall from the

 

same system at a later time, specify the appropriate response file with this

 

command:

 

setup.exe -s -f1"X:path\uninstall.ini"

3. To uninstall an existing installation when there are multiple copies of a version

installed on the same computer, specify the appropriate response file with one

of the following commands:

setup.exe -s -path installation path -f1"X:path\uninstall.ini"

setup.exe -s -instnum installation number -f1"X:path\uninstall.ini"

Where:

v installation path is the full or relative path to the location of the IDS

installation that you want to alter.

v installation number is the unique number that identifies each copy; this

number was automatically generated when the copy was installed.

v X:path\uninstall.ini is your drive, path, and file name for the recorded file

that contains the uninstallation options.
