It sounds like the setup.exe is actually just a wrapper for a .MSI. Is there a part in the setup-process where it starts unpacking data? If so, you should be able to unpack it yourself. There's a few ways to do that... you could try opening it with 7-Zip, or maybe the /x parameter actually works.
Tip: setup.exe /? or setup.exe /h may yield some more information on the possibilities.
Once unpacked, you're probably left with a MSI-file (and maybe some other payload-parts). This is basically the real installer. Each product has its own MSI GUID, which can also be used to uninstall it like so:
msiexec.exe /x {MSI GUID} /qn- /x means uninstall;
- /qn means "quiet" (no UI or interaction).
That's just one of many options and I encourage you experiment.

Hi is there no way of installing the full installation rather than the custom? When installed using /s I click on the app which then requires all add ins / sounds if we are able to install the full version this will bypass any user interaction
Thanks in advance
