How to uninstall silently?

Is there anyway to let the cleaner do it's work without having to press ENTER?
Please respond soon!

The trick is to pipe echo. (echo dot, no space between) to the EXE.
Same command used to display blank lines in batch file output for readability.

ECHO. | EndUserCleaner.exe

I have created an SCCM application task sequence that does the following:

- run EndUserCleaner.exe silently (using the command above to send the Enter key)
- restart (1 of 2)
- run latest MSI driver install
- restart (2 of 2)

The 2 restarts may be overkill, but the EXE installers request a restart after removing the drivers, so I thought it would be best to do this.
