Hi all,
How do I use Windows Installer - deinstalling a package quietly with out any
prompts?
I currently use

setup.exe /x /qn

but this prompts are you sure yes / no we want to all ways specify yes without
any dialog.

I dunno if it works (it’s an old DOS-based trick), but you might try one of the
following:

setup /x /qn|echo y>nul

or:

setup /x /qn|more>nul

(if that doesn’t work ignore the “>nul” part and try again).

I know it sounds silly but it migh work, so give it a try.
