How to do a silent uninstall with Toad?

Toad 9.0.1, Toad 8.6.1, and older does not support silent script uninstall. You will have to uninstall Toad from Windows' Add/ Remove Programs.

For Toad 9.1 and newer:

1. Get the Toad for Oracle MSI location, keep in mind that if you don't know the name of the msi, you may look in Program Data\Package Cache, the next image shows a way to get the MSI's info, when searching in "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache":

2. User the following format to run at command line.

C:\>msiexec /x "< ... MSI's Location ... >\ToadforOracle91SetupFull.msi" /q

x = uninstall, followed by the path where the MSI resides (use quotes where necessary)
q = quiet (no user interface)

In the install of Toad 9.1  the silent installation document is included as a file in the installation directory:
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\SilentInstallNotes91.htm

In all 9.5 and newer versions, there should be similar documenation about silent uninstall in the Getting Started Guide, found in Toad's installation directory under the Docs folder (C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\Docs). Or it can be found on SupportLink | Documentation page (https://support.quest.com/SUPPORT/index?page=documentation)
