How to stop RTC Shell Extension rebooting on uninstall?

0
Gary Day (18●9●14) | asked Feb 17 '15, 11:08 a.m.

We are trying to roll out RTC Windows Shell Extn 5.0.2 to 64bit Win7 desktops via SCCM . Installation Manager 1.8 is already installed.

I have created an install xml file with the rebootLater added to agent-input to stop the automatic reboot and allow our IT people to add some registry keys for tracking purposes then get SCCM to reboot when all is done. That works fine. Using this format "1.8\Installc.exe" input "installRTCShellExtn502.XML" -acceptLicense (the 1.8 folder caontains the IM install source and can install the Installation Manager 1.8 if missing from the client.

For the uninstall I also created a response file as below

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<agent-input rebootLater='true'>
  <variables>
    <variable name='sharedLocation' value='C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\IMShared'/>

  <preference name='com.ibm.cic.common.sharedUI.showWarningLog' value='true'/>
  <preference name='com.ibm.cic.common.sharedUI.showNoteLog' value='true'/>
</agent-input>

The uninstall fails without creating an entry in the usual logs directory and this output in the cmd window

C:\Packaging\In Progress\RTCWindowsShellExtn5.0.2-GB-C-R1\3.Software Package>"1.
8\Installc.exe" input "try2.XML" -acceptLicense

If I use the IMCL like this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools\imcl.exe" uninstall com.ibm.com.ibm.team.concert.winshell_5.0.2.20141022_0821 -installationdirectory "C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational Team Concert Shell" -log c:\windows\appslogs\RTCShellExtn502_uninstall.log

That works fine but reboots before we clear up the registry keys.

Is there a solution? I list below the install xml file for comparison with the uninstall.
