# Silently uninstalling Qlik Replicate

Silently uninstalling Qlik Replicate consists of creating a response file and then running the uninstall.

## Creating a response file

Before starting the uninstall, you need to create a response file.

To create the response file

1. Copy the response file text below into a text editor.

   Response file text:

   ` [{9C614355-28A0-4C2A-98DF-DB9FD674826F}-DlgOrder]
                            ` ` Dlg0={9C614355-28A0-4C2A-98DF-DB9FD674826F}-SdWelcomeMaint-0
                            ` ` Count=3
                            ` ` Dlg1={9C614355-28A0-4C2A-98DF-DB9FD674826F}-MessageBox-0
                            ` ` Dlg2={9C614355-28A0-4C2A-98DF-DB9FD674826F}-SdFinish-0
                            ` ` [{9C614355-28A0-4C2A-98DF-DB9FD674826F}-SdWelcomeMaint-0]
                            ` ` Result=1
                            ` ` [{9C614355-28A0-4C2A-98DF-DB9FD674826F}-MessageBox-0]
                            ` ` Result=6
                            ` ` [{9C614355-28A0-4C2A-98DF-DB9FD674826F}-SdFinish-0]
                            ` ` Result=1
                            ` ` bOpt1=0
                            ` ` bOpt2=0
                            `

2. Save the file as <name>.iss, e.g. silent\_uninst\_64.iss.

## Running a silent uninstall

To silently uninstall Qlik Replicate, open a command prompt and issue the following command (where `RESPONSE_FILE` is the path to the response file you created earlier and `LOG_FILE` is the path to the uninstall log file):

Syntax:

`"C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\directory_containing_setup_file\setup.exe" /s /f1RESPONSE_FILE [/f2LOG_FILE]`

Information note

The directory containing the Replicate setup file always ends with the following string: `DB9FD674826F`

Example:

`C:\>"C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{9C614355-28A0-4C2A-98DF-DB9FD674826F}\setup.exe" /s /f1C:\temp\response.iss /f2C:\temp\1\silent_uninstall.log`

If the uninstall was successful, the log file should contain the following rows:

`[ResponseResult]` `ResultCode=0`
