  • 1.  Cannot get DAgent to uninstall

    Posted Jan 28, 2009 02:36 AM
    I just recently did a clean install of DS on a new server. I inadvertently pushed out DAgent. I realized my mistake and pushed out AClient. But now DAgent is still there and will not hide...I need to uninstall it. Anyone have a script that can do this?

    Thanks in advance

    A bit brutal but it works...

    Run the following in a command prompt.

    MsiExec.exe /X{6C8D5E56-CA12-42B2-9075-044B4C7067A9} /quiet

    Check that the string is the same for your version first:

    1. Open up registry editor
    2. Browse to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    3. Highlight the 'Uninstall' key and hit F3 and in the search field type Deployment
    4. Look for the Uninstall string and confirm its the same as above. If not change as needed.

    NB: you must leave the /X instead of /I

    Everything you never wanted to know about DAgent:

    The excerpt that pertains is here, you just need to copy your DAgent.msi file over from the server:

    DAgent can also be removed silently from using a script. For example, issuing the msiexec.exe command with the /x switch followed by the MSI's Product Code (or a complete path to the original MSI package).

    Example: msiexec.exe /x C:\DAgent\DAgent.msi /quiet
