Can someone please help! I need to uninstall IE8 without any user prompt's. Is there a command line script I can run or some type of behind the scene's application that can run. Please Help Thank You

Hi and welcome to TSF..

If Windows Internet Explorer 8 is not in the list of currently installed programs, there are other steps you can take to get rid of IE 8.... Click on Run from the Start Menu, type cmd into the "Open" box and click OK... The Windows Command Prompt will open... Type (or copy and paste) %windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe into the Command Prompt window and press Enter... Windows will uninstall Internet Explorer 8... Restart the computer when it is finished...

Hope this helps..

I knew about this line of code but it requires that you click next, yes, and finish. I need something so if one of my clients has IE8 when they shouldn't I can deploy a script to uninstall without them knowing about it.
