Uninstalling fails

The Toolkit General Discussion
1

Hi guys,
I have built a package for installing Project pro 2021.
The installation is working great.
When i try to run an uninstall with batch file, i get an error message.

batch file content:
"%~dp0Deploy-Application.exe" -DeploymentType 'Uninstall'

command line running in deploy-application.ps1
Execute-Process -Path "\\server1\10271\Office2021x64\setup.exe" -Parameters /configure "C:\Install\Uninstall-Project 2021.xml"

What am i missing?

Thank you :slight_smile:

error appearing:

Your Parameter contains spaces.:
/configure “C:\Install\Uninstall-Project 2021.xml”

here are are 2 ways to fix it.

use single-quotes for you parameters:

Execute-Process -Path "\\server1\10271\Office2021x64\setup.exe" -Parameters '/configure "C:\Install\Uninstall-Project 2021.xml" '

use Double-quotes and escape the internal Double-quotes:

Execute-Process -Path "\\server1\10271\Office2021x64\setup.exe" -Parameters "/configure `"C:\Install\Uninstall-Project 2021.xml`" "
