When I first learned of the Microsoft Fix ITs being available, I wondered if they could be run silently. The ability to use the tool silently can be a great advantage and appeals to a large IT community allowing these fixes to run without requiring user intervention - in other words, no prompts. Luckily for us, Fix ITs are .MSI packages and so we can take advantage of the command line arguments available to accomplish our task!
I tested my theory using the IE Fix IT package that uninstalls IE8, and it works just fine!
You can download the IE 8 Uninstall Fix IT tool from KB957700!
Steps:
- Open a cmd and change directory to %windir%system32
Note: Please remember to remove the quotes from the command line above. When executing from Vista, you should open the cmd window using elevated privileges!
