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 --noUpda...

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?

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- Sep 23, 2023You need both uninstall commands, one is for Visual Studio, and the other one is for CoreEditorFonts. Just add them to an uninstall.cmd file, one line per command, and package uninstall.cmd and vs_Professional.exe from one directory to a .intunewin package. The install command is vs_Professional.exe --nocache --wait --noUpdateInstaller --noWeb --quiet --norestart and the uninstall command is uninstall.cmd.

I tried the following steps, but I'm still unable to uninstall visual studio code pro-2022.- specified the following things in intuneWinAppUtil:
Please specify the source folder: C:\Test\Intune package
Please specify the setup file: vs_Professional.exe
Please specify the output folder: C:\Test\Installer
Do you want to specify catalog folder (Y/N)?N- And got the intunewin file.
- The folder: Intune package has these two files as shared in the snapshot:
uninstall.cmd and vs_Professional.exe file
The uninstall.cmd has following commands also shown in snapshot:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe" /uninstall --passiveMsiExec.exe /X{1851460E-0E63-4117-B5BA-25A2F045801B} /qn
- And used the following command in intune:
Install command:vs_Professional.exe --nocache --wait --noUpdateInstaller --noWeb --quiet --norestart
Uninstall command:uninstall.cmd

- newtotechcom-JSep 23, 2023Brass ContributorThank you for sharing this and I'll try it out.
Also, if I want to update the visual studio code from the older version to the one that we have in the link.
What command should I use?- Sep 23, 2023Let us know and visual studio code? You're installing visual studio pro now, visual studio code is different and updates itself. Not sure if you need Admin rights for that....
- newtotechcom-JSep 23, 2023Brass ContributorSorry I meant Visual Studio close pro.
If I want to use the update command in intune, which arguments should I use?
What commands should I use to update Visual studio code pro?
