Marcel,

The uninstall is quite simple by replacing the -i switch of the msiexec
command to -x. Then if you installed each of the different versions with
default settings you will need to check the client readme for the silent
section. It will have the different options for the ADDLOCAL setting. As the
versions changed so did the ADDLOCAL settings.

For example, the uninstall for the 5.1x version looked like:

msiexec /x "C:\(path to .msi)\IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client.msi"
RebootYesNo="No" REBOOT="Suppress" ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLDIR="C:\program
files\tivoli\tsm"
ADDLOCAL="BackupArchiveWeb,BackupArchiveGUI,ApiRuntime,AdministrativeCmd,Rea
dmes" TRANSFORMS=1033.mst /qn /l*v "c:\log.txt"

You may have to create separate scripts for the different versions but it
can be applied to any client with that version as long as you installed
using default settings.

Hope that helps!
Brian
