    newtotechcom-J I Installed it using your install command. I used this as the uninstall string, which also removes the Visual Studio installer after uninstalling Visual Studio Pro 2022:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe" /uninstall --passive

     

    It does, however, leave the CoreEditorFonts installed. You can put the command above and this one below in one uninstall.cmd and use that as uninstall string:

    MsiExec.exe /X{1851460E-0E63-4117-B5BA-25A2F045801B} /qn

     

    Your initial uninstall string didn't work because it needed a space behind the Installpath before specifying the --quiet option

You specify uninstall.cmd in the Intune app as the uninstall command, and you have to have a file in your package named uninstall.cmd. (Not uninstall.cmd.bat or uninstall.cmd.txt) That's why it throws the error that it can't find the file, because it's simply not there 😉

Thanks a lot, it finally worked.
But it restarted my machine.
Should I use: /promptrestart or /norestart like this:
MsiExec.exe /X{1851460E-0E63-4117-B5BA-25A2F045801B} /qn /norestart

    /norestart seems ok, it didn't restart on my machine but I didn't have any other applications running at that moment. Test it 🙂
