How to uninstall silently?

[Yaroslav]

Hi
Is there a way to uninstall DisplayLink silently (in unattended mode)?

1. MSI uninstallation forces reboot unfortunately. Example:
msiexec /X{8A5521F5-C46F-411A-9934-2359F6D4E756} /quiet /norestart
Same issue is reported here http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2165&highlight=silent

2. EndUserCleaner.exe requires user to press Enter.
Is there a way to use it without user interaction but with some arguments? etc
Tool can be found here http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=297

Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you

Can you confirm that there is no way to uninstall DisplayLink silently?
Thank you

This is not an answer to the original question.
I'm in the same pickle: Someone installed the .exe to install the drivers and software on our network, but we cannot seem to uninstall is silently.
The EndUserCleaner.exe tool works, but is not silent.
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.
