Default Silent Uninstall MediaPlayer 10?

Hello,

I'm deploying MediaPlayer 10 in the Enterprise with the Enterprise
MediaPlayer Deployment Kit, which works very good and I'm able to do silent
installs.

The command line for nomal uninstall is: "C:\Program Files\Windows Media
Player\setup_wm.exe" /uninstall

But I can't figure out to do silent uninstalls, do you have an idea?

Also I tried to do an uninstall with
msiexec.exe /x{C2CDE75C-CA51-4335-9C13-84C00E6093A5} but nothing happens.
The Windows MediaPlayer 10 remains installed.

I would appreciate any hints.

Best regards,

Danny

As noted, a silent uninstall is not supported nor possible. There's code
that explicitly turns off quiet mode if you're in uninstall (rollback) mode.
