Hello,
I am looking for the correct method to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC via the command prompt.
I have figured out how to install it via cmd, running the executable like so. "AcrobatReader.exe /sAll /rs"
I'm trying to learn the uninstall command so I can install and uninstall automatically in an business setting.
I am using the executable that I am allowed to use for volume installations. It says not to post the link anywhere publicly, so I expect that adobe support hopefully knows what I am talking about.
I ran the executable with the /? option to see what options were available- There was nothing for uninstalling the application. I did see you can pass commands to msiexec via the /msi option. I'm having trouble making it work correctly though.
If I can give any more information that would be great, I think the issue is i'm just entering the uninstall command incorrectly.
In short, my question is: What is the command to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader DC via the command prompt?
Thanks!
Tate

I should mention that the command that prompted that error is the last command entered in the image.

I can uninstall the application using the following command and registry key for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
msiexec /x {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100}
I'm uploading the command into a SaaS solution that is supposed to run the "uninstall command" which is whatever I enter in. When I run this it doesn't seem to work- Definately an issue with the SaaS solution. I guess nothing more is needed here unless someone knows how to pass it through the /msi option. I'll leave it open for a few days and if no response is seen I'll close this out with this as the correct anwser.

Alright, I found some new information.
When I just use the msiexec /x {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100} command, it does not remove the desktop icon- So there must be a different way to uninstall via the cmd prompt.
I'm going to just leave this for the day as I've spent maybe a bit too much time on one application, any assistance discovering the uninstall command would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
