A.2 Uninstall Parameters

The Uninstall Parameters dialog box lets you specify the desired parameters.

The following sections contain additional information:

A.2.1 Restart Options

In some cases, uninstalling an application requires restarting the workstation.

SIn the Uninstall Parameters dialog box, select the desired Restart option:

None (default): Uses the MSI application’s settings to determine whether or not a restart occurs. ZENworks does not force a Restart option.

Do Not Restart (/norestart): Never restarts the workstation during the uninstall process. The uninstallation is not completed until the next time the workstation starts.

Prompt For Restart (/promptrestart): Prompts users before restarting the workstation. If users answer No, the uninstallation is not completed until the next time they manually restart.

Always Restart (/forcerestart): Forces the workstation to restart without prompting users.

A.2.2 Display Options

In the Uninstall Parameters dialog box, select the desired Display options. You can choose to perform the uninstallation with or without a user interface, whether to display a modal dialog box at the end of the uninstallation process (a modal dialog box demands a response from the user before the uninstallation is complete), or to hide the Cancel button so that users cannot cancel the uninstallation.

No UI (/qn): Uninstalls the application with no user interface (silent uninstallation).

Full UI (/qf): Uninstalls the application with the full user interface and a modal dialog box displayed at the end of the uninstallation.

Reduced UI (/qr): Uninstalls the application with a reduced user interface and a modal dialog box displayed at the end of the uninstallation.

Basic UI (/qb): Uninstalls the application with a basic user interface consisting of a progress bar. The following settings are available with this option:

  • No modal dialog at end (-): Displays a basic user interface with no modal dialog box displayed at the end of the uninstallation.

  • Modal dialog at end (+): Displays a basic user interface with a modal dialog box displayed at the end of the uninstallation.

  • Hide Cancel button (!): Displays a basic user interface without a Cancel button, so the user cannot cancel the uninstallation process.

A.2.3 Command Line Parameters

Displays the command line parameters used during the application’s uninstallation. As you select Restart and Display options, the command line parameters in this field are automatically populated.
