Uninstall Dell Precision Optimizer

Dell Precision Optimizer can be uninstalled from the system using the following steps:

The uninstall command can be fetched from the registry by reading the value of the string UninstallString from the following location:

Table 1. Uninstall command locationUninstall command location
NamesCommand location
For 64bit systemHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{D66A3355-FEA4-4F60-8BAF-D6CBEDB396D8}
For 32bit systemHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{D66A3355-FEA4-4F60-8BAF-D6CBEDB396D8}

A sample value for UninstallString is displayed:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{D66A3355-FEA4-4F60-8BAF-D6CBEDB396D8}\setup.exe" -runfromtemp -l0x0007 -removeonly

NOTE: In this command, the value -l0x0007 may be different for the system.

From a command prompt (run as administrator), executing the above command launches the uninstall process of the Dell Precision Optimizer application. The following command can be modified to run the uninstall silently by adding the following command:

-s –f1<full-path-of-iss>

If the silent response file (.iss file) is in C:\temp folder and its name is uninst.iss, then following command will run uninstall silently:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{D66A3355-FEA4-4F60-8BAF-D6CBEDB396D8}\setup.exe" -runfromtemp -l0x0007 –removeonly –s –f1c:\temp\uninst.iss
