Uninstall Adobe AIR Silently

[fantaribo]

Hello,

I work  on a project where I need to install and uninstall Adobe AIR silently with command line.

No problem for the installation but i cannot uninstall it silently. I was try all installer commands line and it doesn't works.

I have the lastest AIR packages.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

You can do this using the ARH tool.  Please see this page for documentation:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/redist/WS485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-8000.html#WS485a42d56c...

I see this documentation.

But you say "The OSID generator application has been supplanted by the ARH utility. You can use ARH to detect and uninstall AIR applications directly."

I need the AppID and i don't see the option in ARH to get it.

The appid should be the value in the id field in your application.xml

I have the same question as fantaribo.

I want to uninstall the Adobe AIR runtime--NOT an AIR application, just the runtime--via the command line.

I have tried running the AIR runtime installer with the -uninstall command but that does not work.

Is there a command-line switch that allows for silent, un-attended install of the AIR runtime as a whole?

In other words, is there a way to uninstall the runtime without having to go through the Uninstall selection

on the "Programs and Features" control panel?

I use the wmic command in a batch file

wmic product where "name like 'adobe '" call uninstall

You can try this:

AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -uninstall
