Question

FortiClient VPN silent uninstallation using the "fcremove.exe" utility

Hello,

I am posting this message as I was wondering if it would be possible to perform a full silent uninstallation of the FortiClient application using the specific "fcremove.exe" utility.

If so, does anyone know what the silent parameters would be in order to perform this action in combination with the "fcremove.exe" utility ?

Thanks in advance.

Fred

Hello Fred,

 

"fcremove.exe" is only recommened if fct is corrupts and unable to uninstall , dev is only recommend to run this in window safe mode. 

 

However you should be able to uninstall the fct in cli via running command "FortiClientSetup_7.4.3.1131_x64.exe /quiet /uninstallfamily
