Unattended uninstall switches and parameters

This section describes the switches and parameters you can configure when running an unattended uninstall of Content Manager server features.

Start by using the basic command syntax:

SDLTridion2013SP1CM.exe -s [-log "<logpath>\<logfilename>.log" ]<params>

where

  • <logpath> is a path to a custom log location
  • <logfilename> is a custom filename base for the log file
  • <params> is a sequence of zero or more parameters of the form <param>=<value>, denoting the software component(s) you want to uninstall.

If you omit the -log switch, the installer creates a log file in the following location:

  • the subdirectory SDL\Tridion\Logs\ of the path indicated by the %PROGRAMDATA% environment variable (defaults to c:\ProgramData\).

If you attempt to uninstall a feature or subfeature on which other installed features or subfeatures depend, the uninstall process will be interrupted.

The following list shows the named parameters you can use for the uninstallation. Set the value of the parameter to the value (All), or alternatively, to uninstall one or more specific subfeatures, to the value of the subfeature(s) you want to uninstall.
