Create .iss Response File for Uninstalling LINEAR Solutions Over a Network

Shows step by step how to create an .iss response file for unattended uninstallations over a network.

Before you begin

You want to create an .iss response file so that administrators can use it for unattended uninstallations of LINEAR Solutions programs over a network.

Requirements

The LINEAR Solutions programs to be uninstalled are installed on your computer.

Navigate to

Desktop of the Computer

Procedure

  1. Start the Windows command prompt with administrator rights.
  2. In the command prompt, use the cd command to navigate to the installation directory of the LINEAR Solutions
    Note: Make sure that you do not navigate to the Setup folder, but to the LINEAR Solutions XX folder.
  3. Execute the Setup.exe file with the following start parameters: Setup.exe /r /f1"Your Storage Path\unattended-SolutionsXX-uninstall.iss"
    The parameter /r stands for "record" and the parameter /f1 specifies the folder in which the .iss response file is saved (e.g. Setup.exe /r /f1 "C:\LINEAR\unattended-SolutionsXX-uninstall.iss").
    Note: There must be no space after /f1 !
  4. Select the uninstallation language.
  5. Perform the individual uninstallation steps and select the settings you want to save in the .iss response file in the dialog.

Results

After the uninstallation is complete, the .iss response file is saved in the folder specified as a parameter.

What to do next

You can now use the .iss response file for unattended uninstallations over a network by replacing the /r parameter with /s, where /s stands for “silent” (e.g., Setup.exe /s /f1“C:\LINEAR\unattended-SolutionsXX-uninstall.iss”).
