Unable to uninstall Visual Studio Pro 2022 via Intune
- Sep 19, 2023
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
newtotechcom-J Wait! 🙂 I see the problem from within your screenshot!
It should be named uninstall.cmd, not uninstall.cmd.bat 😄 Rename the file, create a new package and try again 😉
- Sep 26, 2023/norestart seems ok, it didn't restart on my machine but I didn't have any other applications running at that moment. Test it 🙂

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 - Sep 26, 2023You 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 😉

The name of file is uninstall.cmd in notepad++ you see the filename.extension
For example for bat files it would be uninstall.cmd.bat
And for text files it would be uninstall.cmd.txt - Sep 26, 2023You can just rename the existing uninstall.cmd.bat to uninstall.cmd
