Hi /r/sysadmin!
Im trying to uninstall Avaya Contact Center5.0.2 wich is an installshield installation, silently troughout a windows script.
This is my uninstall string from regedit: C:PROGRA~2COMMON~1INSTAL~1Driver1050INTEL3~1IDriver.exe /M{C09FE858-DDF7-406D-A43A-2B9195D8DAE4}
I've tried to create a responsefile with the command: setup.exe /r /f1 uninstall.iss but it doesnt work. It's like the /r /f1 command doesn't exist.
The setup.exe file doesn't exist in the installshield information folder either: C:Program Files (x86)InstallShield Installation Information{C09FE858-DDF7-406D-A43A-2B9195D8DAE4}
Any thoughts?

If you are talking about the folder you might have in c:program files called:
InstallShield Installation Information
The folder contains information about software products you installed where the installation package was created using the InstallShield product. Some program installations use other installation packages to get installed - some software companies like to use InstallShield.
You can certainly delete the normally hidden folder and all the contents and it will be recreated again the next time you install some software that uses InstallShield.
The curiously named folders in the InstallShield Installation Information folder contain information that is needed to uninstall the program that goes with it, so if you delete the folder(s), you may have a hard time uninstalling something later since the uninstall information doesn't exist anymore.
You can use a text editor to look in the folders at the setup.ini file and determine what program goes with that folder. Sometimes the folders are empty and those can certainly be deleted. You may have a folder with stuff in it and when you look at the setup.ini file, you can see that whatever was installed was uninstalled a long time ago. That folder should have been deleted when the program was uninstalled but for some reason it was not removed during uninstall.
The folders and files in the InstallShield Installation Information folder usually consume little space... after 6 years on this same XP installation, my InstallShield Installation Information folder is only about 2MB. If yours is ginormous, you will have to look at it and decide what to do about it (now you know how) or get a hard disk with more free space on it.
If you have installed the actual InstallShield product for some reason, you will find it in Add/Remove Programs and can remove it from there.
If you are not talking about any of this, what are you talking about?
