Unable to uninstall Visual Studio Pro 2022 via Intune
Hi,
I'm able to install Visual Studio Pro 2022 but unable to uninstall it via Intune.
Following are the commands that I'm using:
Install command
vs_Professional.exe --nocache --wait --noUpdateInstaller --noWeb --quiet --norestart
Uninstall command
vs_Professional.exe uninstall --installPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional"--quiet --norestart
And using the following bootstrapper:
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_professional.exe
newtotechcom-J I Installed it using your install command. I used this as the uninstall string, which also removes the Visual Studio installer after uninstalling Visual Studio Pro 2022:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe" /uninstall --passiveIt does, however, leave the CoreEditorFonts installed. You can put the command above and this one below in one uninstall.cmd and use that as uninstall string:
MsiExec.exe /X{1851460E-0E63-4117-B5BA-25A2F045801B} /qnYour initial uninstall string didn't work because it needed a space behind the Installpath before specifying the --quiet option
- Did this work for you?
The commands that you shared should I try that in intune?
As the commands that I shared in the post, are working on the command prompt but no visa intuune.
- Yes, put with the installer from the URL you mentioned in a folder together with a uninstall.cmd containing both of the uninstall command lines I mentioned. Create a intunewin package from that with my install command line for installation and the uninstall.cmd for uninstall. For detection you can use a file exist for C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe

Hello Harm_ Veenstra,
I was trying to uninstall the Visual Studio Community 2022 version via your commands through Intune win32app.
I successfully uninstalled that Visual Studio Community as well.
But the problem is whenever I try to uninstall the Visual Studio 2022 community through this process another version like the professional, enterprise version also gets uninstalled.
Can anyone please provide me the specific uninstallation command for Visual Studio Community 2022 version or like 2017, 2019 community version.
Your help will be highly appreciable.
Thanks,
Kunwar Aman Singh
There is a InstallCleanup.exe tool that can uninstall a specific (2017/2019/2022) version using the -i 20xx parameter (20xx can be 2017/2019/2022). Could you try that? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/uninstall-visual-studio?view=vs-2022
