Hi,

I saw the page on silent installation of postgres, but I want to be able to uninstall postgres when my product is uninstalled, silently. I couldn't find the product ID anywhere, which is the method I'm using for uninstalling the JRE.

Any help on how to uninstall silently would be great.

Thanks,
Joe

If you have the MSi around, just
msiexec /qn /x postgresql-8.2-int.msi

If not, you can find the GUID in the registyr. IIRC, it's somewhere in
HKLM\Software\PostgreSQL\Installations.
