Uninstalling TestComplete from Command Line

Question

HI,
&nbsp;
I am trying to uninstall TestComplete 12.60 from command line. I used this&nbsp;
&gt; cd&nbsp;C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 12\Bin
&gt; TestComplete.exe /z"-silentmode-remove"
&nbsp;
It launches TestComplete but doesn't uninstall it. I also tried&nbsp;TestComplete1260.exe /z"-silentmode-remove" but this was not recognized as a command.
&nbsp;
Could someone suggest what I am missing here?
&nbsp;
Thanks!

Yes.&nbsp; To uninstall TestComplete you need to run the TestComplete installer, not the TestComplete application itself.&nbsp; There should be commandline capabilities there but I don't know what they are.

You need to use the installer, not the application executable to pass the -remove command.&nbsp;

There's no mention of uninstall here:

&nbsp;
Nor is there a /z option like you are trying to use.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
What are you trying to accomplish by uninstalling from the command line?

That's limted to uninstallation of TestComplete extensions only. I am trying to uninstall the tool itself.
&nbsp;
Idea is that someone not have to manually log in to 'N' number of machines and remove the old product after recent upgrade, instead automate the uninstallation process.

I tried to use the command posted here https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/Uninstall-TestExecute-TestComplete-from-command-line/m-p/134367#M25055.
