Uninstall CUDA Without User Interaction

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation

Hi,
I’m trying to uninstall CUDA 11.x without user interaction on Windows OS (aka silent uninstall).
From what I read online it doesn’t seems to be supported and I just wanted to be sure I’m not missing anything.
I did find a registry UninstallString key, but when executing it via CLI user still needs to click “Uninstall”.
The uninstallation of CUDA is part of InstallShield bigger installation in which we want to replace one version of CUDA with a newer one.
Thanks.

Hi there @lirankla, welcome to the NVIDIA developer forums.

I’ll pass your question on to the CUDA experts, they will know the current status. But I think this is a neat idea, it would take the issue of user errors out of the equation.

Thanks!

Hi @MarkusHoHo ,
Is there a way to open a feature request regarding this topic?
Something that we can monitor if and when be implemented?
Thanks
