How can I automate the uninstallation of NI-488.2 software

[rskc]

I'd like to be able to uninstall the NI-488.2 Version 2.4 Software without any user interaction i.e. by running a command silently. Can this be done and if so how?

I've tried using a spec file to uninstall components, this works to a degree but still leaves some of the components behind i.e. NI-LabView Runtime Engine v7.0.

Can anyone please assist.

the LabVIEW Run Time Engine (RTE) isn't related to GPIB (VISA?) driver.  If you have a utility that uninstalls one, then run it again and point it at the RTE.

The uninstalled piece may have a dependency and prefer that you uninstall one of the two parts first (I forget  if these two are tied together).  If they are, then you should unistall the 488.2 part first.

here is a link that describes some of the process (silently uninstall).  It is written for IMAQ, but the process is the same.

let me know if you have any problems.
