Silent Uninstall of Office 2007

T

TomK

I have a script that contains...
\\Server\Share\Path\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config
\\Server\Share\Path\Uninstall.xml

The XML contains...
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes"
AcceptEula="yes" />
<Logging Type="standard" Path="C:\Logs" Template="Microsoft Office 2007
Professional Plus Uninstall (*).txt" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
</Configuration>

It works as you think it would when run from a cmd line while logged on as a
local admin. In other words it runs silently and does not reboot. The
problem arises when I push it to a system to run the uninstall. We use
Tivoli to distribute the script and the script runs on the endpoint with
System priveleges. When it runs I get a "ghost" of the Office 2007 install
splash, the process shows up on the taskbar, and it frequently reboots the
system. Has anyone encountered this before? It's as if it reading part of
the XML, but not all of it.

Thanks,
Tom
