    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 --passive

     

    It 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} /qn

     

    Your initial uninstall string didn't work because it needed a space behind the Installpath before specifying the --quiet option

    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

        Should I use just this command:

        "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe" /uninstall --passive

        or Should use just this command:

        MsiExec.exe /X{1851460E-0E63-4117-B5BA-25A2F045801B} /qn

         

        or Should I have them both together like this in uninstall command as shown in snapshot?


        "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe" /uninstall --passive ; MsiExec.exe /X{1851460E-0E63-4117-B5BA-25A2F045801B} /qn
