Silverlight Removal Via Batch File

[jertsy]

Hi

 

I am trying to update silverlight accross the network and I have to remove the old version before I can install the new one via MSI. The old version is included in a thick image. I have created a batch file with the following

 

wmic product where caption='Microsoft Silverlight' call uninstall

 

This works fine but if I leave it linked it will always remove any version of silverlight, is there a way to specify what version to remove? I can then deploy a new version and the batch file wont touch it.

 

Cheers

If you have a wsus server just update it using that.

If you do a silent install from the exe not MSI it will upgrade the old version too

Good thinking, i'm just looking into that, Silverlight was not ticked on my WSUS server

I saw that Steve, but would need SCCM to push an exe accross the network or can I push an exe via a batch file?
