Hello everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to silently uninstall VS2017?

For the installation

vs_enterprise.exe --productId "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Enterprise" add "exampleworkload" --all --quiet seems to work

However when I go vs_enterprise.exe /uninstall --productId "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Enterprise" --quiet it extracts the files and then crashes (does nothing)

I also tested with --passive, the installer shows but it's the same as if the passive switch wasn't there - still requires user intervention for the user to select "uninstall" .

Also is there a --log <directory> switch?

These options used to be available in 2015 and prior but I can't figure out for the life of me can't figure them out for 2017.


Thanks for reading.
