SAV10 and Live Update MSI uninstaller

Hello everyone...

I have been having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to uninstall Live Update via msiexec...I am building a package that will detect the version of SAV you have installed and then kick off the msiexec that will uninstall the verion of SAV.  I do so silently so the user see's nothing.  What I need is either a way to add something to the SAV10 MSI uninstall synatax that will remove LiveUpdate or a individual msiexec for Live Update.

This is what I have

SAV10:
MsiExec.exe /norestart /q/x {5A633ED0-E5D7-4D65-AB8D-53ED43510284} REMOVE=ALL

SAV9:
MsiExec.exe /norestart /q/x {848AC794-8B81-440A-81AE-6474337DB527} REMOVE=ALL

Live Update gives me this in the uninstall string in the registry:
C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\LSETUP.EXE /U

I would ideally like to have one msiExec command that uninstalls SAV10 Live Update and Live Update Administrator...any ideas?

Shouldn't Be Necessary to Uninstall

Hi Bishop21,

It's not necesary to uninstall older versions of SAV during a migration.  The latest release of SAV 10.1 (10.1.9.9000), should install without any difficulty over an odler version of SAV.  All of the settings will be retained.  It's the same story when migrating to SEP.

Thanks and best regards,

Mick

With thanks and best regards,
