Dear folks,
as we are trying to deploy VS2019, we are struggling with an unattended removal.
One of the requirements for deployment for us is that we have a working uninstall routine.
We have tried using
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe" /uninstall --quiet --norestart
without success.
We were not able to find any documentation for unattended/silent uninstall. Could anyone please provide a link/info on how to remove the following silent/scripted/unattended?:
- VS 2019
- Visual Studio Installer
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi friend,
Welcome to the MSDN forum.
May be you can have a try with the InstallCleanup.exe tool and remove installation files and product information for all installed instances of Visual Studio 2019.
Using the parameter â-fâ to removes the main installation directory, product information, and most other features installed outside the installation directory that may be shared with other Visual Studio installations or other products.
I tried it in my side and it works as below, please check it meet your requirement or not.
Best regards,
Sara

Thanks Sara,
I think this might be ok.
Frankly, with VS being a nice product, I am so disappointed how the Setup team has made it extremely difficult to install in an enterprise environment.
