Project Standard 14.0 (32bit) silent uninstall problem on Windows 7 64bit

Hello!
Whenever I silently try to uninstall Project Standard it gives me an
unwanted reboot after the uninstall routine without even asking,
though I defined the "Setup_Reboot=Never" Parameter in the config.xml
file.
I also tried "Reboot=Never" and following various versions of the
uninstall command itself, but every single one does not have the
wanted effect:

Call MsiExec /X{90140000-001F-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}
_Office14.PRJSTD_{2618D18A-34BB-410C-B903-B34A308FB6C8} /quiet /
norestart /log "%V_Log%\Packages\%ProductName%_%Version%_%Revisio n
%_Uninstall_MSI.log" /QN
Effect: nothing happens, command is simply ignored.

Call "%System%\msiexec.exe" /X "%V_Src%\srcFiles\config
\Project_OWS2012.MSP" REBOOT=ReallySuppress /L*V "%V_Log%\Packages\
%ProductName%_%Version%_%Revision%_Uninstall_MSI.l og" /QN
Effect: Error (if I remember right it was 1620, which would mean that
the .msp file can not be found, but I know it is there, because the
repair installation also uses it)

Call "%V_Src%\srcFiles\Setup.exe" /uninstall PrjStd /config "%V_Src%
\srcFiles\PrjStd.WW\config.xml" /v:"REBOOT=ReallySuppress"
Effect: uninstallation works, but instant reboot without prompt
follows, which is unaccecptable!

We have a Windows 7 64bit client with this 32bit package, the %XXX% in
the calls above are all environment variables on our system and get
resolved correctly - would be glad if somebody could help!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Daniel

Sorry, the last oneworks only without the /v:"REBOOT=ReallySuppress",
but nevertheless uses the right config.xml file with the
"Setup_Reboot=Never" Parameter, Display level is set to "none" btw,
but I also tried "Basic".
Anyone got an answer to my problem?
Best regards,
Daniel

Hello again!
Now I managed to run the uninstall routine with the following code:
Call MsiExec /X{90140000-003A-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} /qb! /norestart /
log "%V_Log%\Packages\%ProductName%_%Version%_%Revisio n
%_Uninstall_MSI.log"

Nevertheless the uninstallation fails, here is a part of the MSI log
(unfortunately I am not able to post the whole log), it seems like it
fails because something is held in use by another process:
MSI (s) (24:7C) [15:05:13:110]: Final Patch Application Order:

There are many entries in the log which mostly have a return value of
1 and in some cases of 3.

I really would appreciate someone's quick help, because it's urgent!
Thank you!!

| I really would appreciate someone's quick help, because it's urgent!

Some time ago Microsoft ended support for their
own newsgroups. In their place MS set up online
Web forums. Unfortunately, the Web forums are
little more than poorly designed marketing outlets.
They are monitored by MS employees and require
that you log in with a "Live ID" from Microsoft in order
to take part.

The newsgroups are still here and operating, but
most of the MVPs and some regulars have felt it
appropriate to do what Microsoft tells them to do.
And Microsoft told them to switch from public
newsgroups to the moderated Web forums.

As far as I know there isn't a forum for MSI. I don't
know why. You can look around. There seems to be a
forum at appdeploy.com, though I don't know what that
website is. They seem to be selling some kind of MSI
packager. (?)

Also, this group is for people working with MSI
packages. Your question appears to be related to
installing some kind of MS Office package. (Project
Standard? Are people supposed to know what that
is?) If it's MS Office-related you might try the Office
forums or newsgroups.

Hi!
Thanks for your explanation and time! I did not know about that.
Project is an additional part of the Office Suite designed for
planning projects - I thought that it is widely known.
On Microsoft's websites I only found informations related directly to
office, but they don't work in this case. In another forum I found a
hint to try it here, but it seems that this was a bit outdated.
Thanks anyways!
Best regards,
Daniel
