SOLVED Trouble uninstalling Microsoft Office 2013

[sccm-noob-one-question]

Hi all,

When I try to silently uninstall Microsoft Office 2013 via the command line (eventually SCCM 2012) I get a message saying that bootstrapper has failed or that the executable is invalid. The command I am using is as follows:

"\\server\bleh\bleh\MS Office 2013\setup.exe" /uninstall proplus /config "\\server\bleh\bleh\MS Office 2013\x86\proplus.ww\uninstall.xml"

The Uninstall.xml file is:
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level=”none” CompletionNotice=”no” SuppressModal=”yes” AcceptEula=”yes” />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
</Configuration>

I've followed tutorials everywhere and still no luck trying to uninstall it. I always start at the command line and try but I get that bootstrapper error. When I attempt to uninstall through SCCM I get the error, "invalid executable file."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much and have a good day.

Nice find. I have also observed these quotes cause issues when you copy the SQL query from other websites and try to use it. Glad to hear it's resolved.
