Uninstall options for tomcat 4.1.31
Hi,
I haven't been able to find the answer to this in the MARC
archives or elsewhere.
Where can I find a list of command line flags for the
uninstaller (uninst-tomcat4.exe)?
Our product includes tomcat 4.1.31. I would like to
silently uninstall tomcat 4.1 before upgrading our users
to tomcat 5.5.
When running the tomcat 4.1 uninstaller manually, the UI
prompts me to remove the tomcat directory and all files
in it. Is this option also available via a command line
switch?
Thanks,
Eric

Silly question: have you tried running it like this:
C:\Wherever> uninst-tomcat4.exe /?
I've found that many uninstallers or otherwise-windowed programs like
that sometimes have a help option that will show you either in the
console or in a window what the available switches are.

Another option is just to "manually" uninstall by disabling and removing
any services that were installed, removing any other registry keys that
might have been added, removing any start menu items installed, and
finally deleting the files from the disk.

I don't think so. The uninstall section can be found at the end of
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/container/branches/tc4.1.x/tomcat.nsi
I don't see any code that would support what you want. NSIS may have
something but I haven't checked the docs.
