Oftentimes it is critical for deployment of new versions of Vista, or when moving to the cloud, to uninstall an old version of Vista and install a new version. This can be done easily by various automation tools and platforms, such as Microsoft InTune, or with Windows login scripts. In order for these solutions to work properly however, it is necessary to have a "command line way" to uninstall Vista and its associated libraries, and then install the newer Vista version.
Please read on for more information about using command line installers and uninstallers and switches to perform these operations.
