Uninstalling View Components Silently by Using MSI Command-Line
Options
You can uninstall View components by using Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) command-line options.
Syntax
msiexec.exe
/qb
/x
product_code
Options
The /qb option displays the uninstall progress bar. To suppress displaying the uninstall progress bar,
replace the /qb option with the /qn option.
The /x option uninstalls the View component.
The product_code string identies the View component product les to the MSI uninstaller. You can nd the
product_code string by searching for ProductCode in the %TEMP%\vmmsi.log le that is created during the
installation. To nd the product_code string that applies to older versions of View components, see the
VMware Knowledge Base (KB) article at hp://kb.vmware.com/kb/2064845.
For information about MSI command-line options, see “Microsoft Windows Installer Command-Line
Options,” on page 74.
Uninstall a Horizon Agent Example
To uninstall a 32-bit Horizon Agent version 7.0.2, enter the following command:
msiexec.exe /qb /x {B23352D8-AD44-4379-A56E-0E337F9C4036}
To uninstall a 64-bit Horizon Agent version 7.0.2, enter the following command:
msiexec.exe /qb /x {53D6EE37-6B10-4963-81B1-8E2972A1DA4D}
Add a verbose log to the command.
/l*v "%TEMP%\vmmsi_uninstall.log"
If you do not explicitly pass the /l option, the default verbose log le is %TEMP%\MSInnnn.log, where nnnn is
a four-character GUID.
The Horizon Agent uninstallation process retains some registry keys. These keys are required for retaining
the Connection Server conguration information that enables the remote desktop to continue being paired
with the Connection Server even if the agent is uninstalled and then reinstalled. Removing these registry
keys will break that pairing.
The following registry keys are retained:
n
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\VMware Horizon View Certificates\*

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\VMwareView\Certificates\*

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\VMwareView\CRLs
