Automating the Unattended DE-Installation of NI Package Manager

[Oli_Wachno]

Hi, 

I am discussing with my corp IT about installing NIPM on certain client PC via our software distribution system.

Though this article is not quite up to date, it helps for installation.

But what about uninstalling (this will probably a question they'll be asking)? I tried command parameters -- remove or -- uninstall, but both of them are ignored

Cheers

Oli

Scott-

thanks, it absolutely does.

I was a bit too focussed on the msi side.... so I forgot about the possiblilty that the Package Manager can remove itself 🙂
