The following describes how to uninstall Systemwalker Desktop Keeper Client (CT) silently.

Note that this feature can be executed in the environment where the first version of the client (CT) is installed. It cannot be executed on clients (CT) that have had updates applied.

  1. Log on to Windows with a user that belongs to the Administrators group or a user that belongs to the Domain Admins group. When other applications are being used, exit them.

  2. Insert the DVD-ROM of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper into the PC.

  3. Start Run or Command Prompt.

  4. Run the Setup.exe command that is located in the "win32\DTKClient" folder on the setup disk. Use the files that have been used during installation again.

    Command Format
    Specify with absolute path Setup.exe /Silent "Password:password,Reboot:flag"
    • Available option key: "Password","Reboot"

    • No space between items in "Key:Value" and "Key:Value".

    • Options are not case-sensitive.

    • If no option is specified, an error message will be displayed and then the uninstallation will be aborted.

    The meaning of keys is as follows:

    • "Password": The client management password set in the Management Console, or the password set during installation of the client (CT)

    • "Reboot": The flag specified after the uninstallation has been executed.

      • 0: Do not reboot

      • 1: Display the dialog box (reboot or not)

      • 2: Reboot by force

    Example

    Assume the following situations:

    • The setup disk is inserted in D Drive

    • The Setup.exe command is located in D: \win32\DTKClient

    • The password for displaying & updating the client status is admin

    • Reboot by force after uninstallation

      D:\win32\DTKClient\Setup.exe /Silent "Password:admin,Reboot:2"
  5. When the dialog box is displayed, select whether to reboot or not.
