deploy nonav uninstall silently

ok Geniuses,

i want to create a program that uninstalls silently
For example, there is a program out there called nonav which uninstalls symantec antivirus completely

however there are prompts in that program which i want to take away, and have it take the default prompts

anyone know where i can begin?

Thanks

You need to supply more info. Are you talking about an MSI-based setup? Or maybe ClickOnce?

Keep in mind that MSI-based setups (like the ones built with Visual Studio setup&deployment projects) just uninstall with a progress bar and there is no UI. So the default behavior is that MSI-based setups have no uninstall UI, and in effect you seem to be asking if you can have an uninstall that does what most uninstalls already do.

Yes, but i would like to deploy it remotely

It's still not clear what you're doing. Your first post was about silent uninstalls, and this question is about remote deployment, which seems a non sequitur to me. What exactly does remote deployment mean? Install from a web site? To a server? From a network share? If you look at MSI files and Windows Installer capabilities, is that what you're looking for?

Phil, are you familiar with the Nonav application for uninstalling Symantec Antivirus v10?
I use GFI Languard to deploy software

There are instructions for doing both halves of what you are talking about (upgrading enterprise versions of SAV) at http://www.sharpebusinesssolutions.com/savce_upgrade.htm. This information seems to be pretty hard to come by for some reason. Symantec seems to refuse to provide support for recent versions of SAV 10, but makes it exceedingly difficult to upgrade large populations of machines reliably. The irony of this is not lost upon me.
