    Run svscmd /? from the command line to get the switches.

    You first need to deactivate the layer which will basically be the same as uninstalling and then delete the layer to remove the layer from the machine if you so wish.

    Like I have already mentioned, run svscmd /? from the command line to get the switches.

    You first need to deactivate the layer which will basically be the same as uninstalling and then delete the layer to remove the layer from the machine if you so wish.

    There will be a deactivate switch as well as a delete switch.  The help will also provide example syntaxes too from what I can remember.

    I think it will be somethin like:-  svscmd.exe "layername" /deactivate

    However, it could require the layer guid instead or have the switch before the layer, so please use the /? switch to get the help information.

    Hi All,

    I got a solution to uninstall the same.

    I did uninstall the layer using the below command in cmd

    svscmd "layer Name" del -f

    Note:No need to deactivate the layer before uninstall the specific layer.

    If above suggestion helps do mark as solution.

    I prefer to deactivate first, but thats just my preference.
