uninstall dollar Universe on windows server 2019 CORE

[Gwennael LE BELLAC]

Hello, i need to uninstall Dollars universe from windows server core based, that mean i dont have a GUI (add/remove programs), can you help Please?

[Eric Delawoevre]

Hi
Be sure that your Dollar Universe services are stopped and alls subs (user services particularly)
Get-Services can help to find out them

To UnInstall, simply use the Get-Package command:

Get-Package -Provider Programs -IncludeWindowsInstaller -Name ...
then
Uninstall-Package ...

You can do it remotely by using the Enter-PSSession (in admin mode for sure)

Regards
Eric

Hi,

are you on Powershell with administration mode ?

can you add the argument  -Confirm   -Debug -Verbose and tell me please ?

[Not sure on 2k19 OS. Perhaps the Programs Feature need to be there but not really normal/As deisgn]

Hi,

do you have something when launching :

C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{B801D14E-99C1-42A9-892F-DC0FB624A4EF}\setup.exe" -runfromtemp -l0x0409 -removeonly

* Could be also C:\Program Files (x86)
but 2k19 core arch is pure 64 bits, not sure it is there

Bonjour M Le Bellac,

I have a few questions and notes about your Dollar Universe instance. 

Dollar Universe 6.9.41 was not validated for use on Windows Server 2019, and therefor the installation/uninstallation process was never tested.

Dollar Universe 6.10.21 and above have been validated for use on Windows Server 2019. However, this did not include the Core version. As far as I know, there is a bug in the installation/uninstallation process relating to a hard requirement of InstallShield (which has a graphical component), when on a Core instance of Windows. 

May I ask how you managed to install Dollar Universe on Windows Server 2019 Core? My understanding was that there was an issue even just to install it. 

Thank you!
