Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Uninstall Issue

Hi

I'm currently preparing for deployment of ultramon for one of our customers on 50+ workstations

A part of the software concept is that all applications must have a working uninstall step.
For this uninstallation am I using a vbscript, which is a part of their install/uninstall concept.
The issue is when I run the following in at vbscript as a WshShell.Exec object
Msiexec /x path to ultramon\ultramon.msi /REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb

The msiexec comes and what to kill the vbscript running the uninstallation process before continuing.
Is there a way to bypass this check for other open applications during uninstallation?

Unfortunately I don't know what might cause this, worked fine for me. I tested on a Windows XP system with Windows Installer 3.1.

I used the following script for testing:
Const CMD = "msiexec.exe /x ""<setup_file>"" REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb" Set sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set exec = sh.Exec(CMD)
One thing you could try is to run the same command via sh.Run instead of sh.Exec.
