- 1). Locate the MSI file. The msiexec command works on MSI files stored locally or on an accessible networked drive.
- 2). Open a command line interface. You can access the Run dialog box and the search bar from the Start menu, or the command prompt window from the Accessories folder.
- 3). Type "msiexec /x" without the quotation marks. The "/x" modifies the command to uninstall the product.
- 4). Add one space after the "/x" and enter the full file path of the MSI file corresponding to the program you wish to uninstall. The final command should resemble "msiexec /x C:\Folder\Subfolder\File.msi" or similar.
- 5). Press "Enter" to confirm the command. Wait for the uninstallation to finish. Depending on the default settings of the MSI file, it may prompt the user for input, or run silently. You can specify these options by further modifying the command with the "/q" parameter. Microsoft keeps a list of available msiexec commands and parameters on its website.
