MES uninstall command

The uninstall command syntax is:

Setup.exe /silentuninstall {E815D965-1048-4C00-9EED-9050C3BCDFE1}

where

• Setup.exe is the file path (if needed) and file name of the MES Setup tool executable file.

• /silentuninstall is the switch that causes the uninstall to run in the background without a user interface.

• E815D965-1048-4C00-9EED-9050C3BCDFE1 is the MES product GUID for the current version of MES.

The command must be run by a user with a Windows Administrator user account.

Note: Uninstalling MES from the command line does not uninstall License Manager. If you want to uninstall License Manager, it has to be uninstalled separately.
