Thanks,
Rokas.

Windows, Linux, Mac or Bsd?

Silent? Do you mean as in doing this from the command-line in linux or Bsd and
avoiding a verbose mode?

I need command line command which can uninstall LibreOffice from pc? Any
suggestions? I am using windows.

#4

from the directory containting the installation files:
msiexec /uninstall libreoffice33.msi /qr

(or do msiexec /? for other options)
"msiexec /uninstall libreoffice33.msi /quiet" does not seem to work on
my Windows7

#5

Yes, doing in command line in Windows

I solved the problem.

If you want silent install program(install from command line unattended) you
need write command:

*msiexec /qn /i "\\ntinstall\wpkg\soft\LibreOffice3.3\libreoffice33.msi*"

to uninstall:

*msiexec /q /x "\\ntinstall\wpkg\soft\LibreOffice3.3\libreoffice33.msi*

It very helps when you need install program into more than 10computers.

Hi :slight_smile:

Ahah, people have been asking about this. How do you get each computer to
actually run the command or do you leave that up to the users?

Do you use Notepad to create a txt file with download instruction and then this
line at the end and "Save As ..." a batch file ".bat"? or do you compile it
into an ".exe"?

Hi,

in our office we use wpkg(wpkg.org);

*WPKG* is an automated software deployment, upgrade and removal program for
Windows.
It can run as a service to install software in the background (silent
install), without user interaction.

Other solution, you can write bat file with instructions. For example:

install.bat, you write in it:

msiexec /qn /i "\\SERVER_NAME\soft\LibreOffice3.3\libreoffice33.msi

and when user open file, libre office will be installed silently, without
user interaction.

Hi :slight_smile:

So you can avoid needing to go to every machine using this? It just installs
for each user the 1st time they open a ".doc" or an ".odt"? The server places
the install.bat or whatever onto each machine?

Wpkg sounds excellent = a package manager for Windows! Does it automatically
upgrade all programs with the latest patches and updates? Does it also upgrade
programs? I guess that would be limited to non-proprietary programs or perhaps
other free ones.

Many thanks for your answers! Hopefully the people that were asking about this
might have noticed the thread. I am trying to find the email addresses or posts
from the people that were asking.

You can send libreoffice.bat file to every windows user, when he open that
file automaticlly program will be installed.

Wpkg - when user restarts his computer, or restart wpkg service he
automaticlly will get programs installed into his computer.

In wpkg server you have commands and software, and when you change something
in server(for example add new soft with instructions) it will be
automaticlly installed into every user computer which have wpkg client.

Yes, it also upgrade programs. We always with wpkg upgrade firefox.*
