Silent Uninstall #16150

Closed rrricky16 closed 7 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm trying to uninstall this program silently. I've tried using C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\uninstall.exe /S but that did not uninstall the program.

Describe the solution you'd like

Can you add an uninstall-silent command line option to NVDA? Similar to how you handle silent install: https://www.nvaccess.org/corporate-government/#deployment

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried using USSF (https://www.capstanservices.com/tools-blog/2018/4/4/the-ultimate-silent-switch-finder-ussf) to find the uninstall switch but /S doesn't work.

Additional context

I work in the IT department for a college. I've been asked to add NVDA to Microsoft Configuration Manager (formally known as SCCM) so we can deploy NVDA to a computer lab. I want to make sure we have a way of uninstalling NVDA from Configuration Manager if we need to. image

My understanding is this process works, as per #14603

Can you confirm what happens when you run C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\uninstall.exe /S and provide any log file if possible

Running from an administrator command prompt "C:\Program Files (x86)\NVDA\uninstall.exe" /S works for me to silently uninstall
