Hi,

I am packaging the postgres database in my application and for this I
need to do a silent install and uninstall, the msiexec for install works
great. Is there a similar utility for uninstall. If not, are there any
other options to achieve this??

Thanks

Amit

you can use the standard msiexec parameters for this. Either:
msiexec /x postgresql-8.2-int.msi

Or
msiexec /x {guid}

(sorry, can't remember the guid offhand, but it's in the installer
source or in the registry on a machine where it's installed)
