Hello everyone!

I have installed the WebView that I got from here . I use this command line to install it silently MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe /silent /install But now I need to uninstall it silently, using the command line.

So far I'm able to uninstall it with this .\setup.exe --uninstall --msedgewebview --system-level --verbose-logging
Already I tried with --silent, --quiet, --q, --passive, but nothing works. Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance!

This is the UninstallString, from there i got the line for uninstallation:
