Netbackup Puredisk client silent uninstall

Is there a way to silently and command line uninstall the puredisk client from a system? It seems strange to have a silent installer, without a silent uninstaller.

Thanks.

    Found a way myself, you have to find the msi uninstaller string (changes depending on version) from the registry. Once you have that, you can execute the msiexec /i {uninstall string here} /qn

    the /qn is a quiet no-reboot switch. Worked like a charm!

    do you mean from Windows or UNIX client?

    it seems UNIX uninstall is a silent one anyway

    For windows client. This is a major deal for us as we need to be able to do this (we're continuing to use the product but we can't involve our end users in the process or have them be alerted since, for lack of better words, they are computer illiterate.)
