    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

And that's why I asked if you uninstall it using installcleanup, does that change anything in that process?

Both Visual Studio had uninstalled because both(Professional and Community) versions are same.

    Ah, ok... Is the Community Edition installed in another location? (Not in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional" I presume?) Then you could change the uninstall to something like this:

     

    vs_Community.exe uninstall --installPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community"--quiet --norestart

     

    (I don't know the .exe name of the Community version)

      When i tried this command(vs_Community.exe uninstall --installPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community"--quiet --norestart) on Cmd or powershell as admin.
      It sent me an error :

       

      Yes, FYI,  My community edition is on the same path but this error came.

       

      Please guide me the same.

        As I mentioned, I don't know the executable name of the community version. If you check the properties of the shortcut for it, what does it start?
