Silent and Unattended Uninstall for Edge Insider Browser?
Hi Looking for a command line to silently and unattended uninstall for the new Microsoft Edge Insider Browser as I need to create an SCCM uninstall command. The 'UninstallString' in the regis...
Steve Rugh Hi, I'm also trying to figure out a silent uninstall for Edge (actually Edge Dev in this case).
The --force-uninstall parameter doesn't seem to work. Setup.exe appears to launch as I watch task manager, but then it immediately stops running. I don't get any prompts or error messages.'
Here's the command line I'm using, which with the exception of the suggested --force-uninstall parameter, I've taken straight from the Uninstall key in the registry:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\81.0.403.1\Installer\setup.exe" --force-uninstall --msedge-dev --system-level --verbose-logging
Any ideas? I've also tried --silent-uninstall and --quiet-uninstall, but those didn't work, either.
setup.exe" --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall it worked for me
That does not work for me. If I run that script "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application\80.0.361.53\Installer\setup.exe" --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging, nothing happens that I can see.
If I run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application\80.0.361.53\Installer\setup.exe" --uninstall --msedge-dev --system-level --verbose-logging users are prompted about keeping data.
Thoughts?
I need to silently uninstall DEV and BETA versions of EDGE from all our Win10 64bit Enterprise machines before I deploy Chromium Edge production.
Ian Matthews What would work are these argument: --uninstall --msedge-beta --system-level --force-uninstall
Anyway: Is there any generic uninstall command to uninstall any version of Edge Beta?
stesch79 I gave up and uninstalled Edge Beta from 70 PC's manually... desk by desk... not cool but I could not get an answer via the forum and I failed to figure it out through trial and error.
Thanks all the same. Hopefully your string will help others 🙂
Stay safe!
