Veeam Explorer registry uninstall string incorrect

Post by matteu »

Hello,

I think there is an error on the registry key set for these Veeam explorer :
Exchange
Sharepoint
Teams

They have the string msiexec /I ....
It should be msiexec /X like it's for the other explorers.

The /I is for install
The /X is for uninstall

Not yet.
I'm pretty confident we can confirm it and it will be solved in our upcoming release (v12.1).
But still waiting for the confirmation.

Hi Matteu

I have news from QA.
Uninstall string can have I or X. Even Microsoft is using /i for some of it's component.
As an example, you can check "Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Management Objects (x64).

Do you see any issues with /I?

Hello,

Thanks for your news.
Unfortunately as I said in my first message, it's totally different usage.
/I = Install a product.

So, if you want to install a product, it will be msiexec /I file.msi
If you want to uninstall a product it will be msiexec /x productCode

Lot's of product doesn't have the good "uninstallString" value... And here, it's the case on some Veeam Explorer. It would be better to resolve it :)

You can just check it when you do "msiexec /?"
