My experience is, that each installer uses other options for silent
installations (/s, /S, /q, -s, /qn, etc.). What installer framework are
you using for WinCoot?

/S doesn't work (I tried already). Is somewhere a complete list of
files to remove e.g. in a textfile? If I have the list, then I can do
the silent removal with a simple batchfile.

No hurry...

Fine with me. That means, that I don't have to bother, too :-)
