How to silently uninstall notepad++

Question

Hello,

We want to use the .bat script to uninstall the notepad++ on all our user computers silently. Can we deploy the script from SCCM to do this? Please help.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Yes, you can place your .bat script in a folder, create a package pointing to this folder, create a program that runs the script, and deploy. Follow the steps below to deploy the batch file onto systems as you create for standard package.

Step 1) Place the batch file onto a folder (shared folder)

Step 2) Create a package and select the above folder as source files

step 3) create a new program with command line batch filename.bat with proper settings as per the need.

step 4) create an advertisement by selecting the above created package and program to required collection.

The .bat script looks like below:

@echo off
set uninstallerPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\uninstall.exe
if exist "%uninstallerPath%" (
echo Uninstalling Notepad++...
"%uninstallerPath%" /S
timeout /t 5 > nul
if not exist "%uninstallerPath%" (
	echo Notepad++ uninstalled.
) else (
	echo Notepad++ uninstall returned %errorlevel%
)
) else (
echo Notepad++ uninstaller not found.
)

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
