Hello Everyone

Somehow our tool pushed out Opera Stable 99.0.4788.13. I am unable to create a powershell script or a batch file to do a silient uninstall. I was able to get a batch file the calls the uninstall but it still require user input to select uninstall.

@echo off
taskkill /IM opera.exe /F
taskkill /IM opera_autoupdate.exe /F
taskkill /IM opera_crashreporter.exe /F
taskkill /IM opera_gpu_launcher.exe /F
taskkill /IM opera_plugin_wrapper.exe /F
taskkill /IM opera_stable.exe /F
taskkill /IM opera_updater.exe /F
start /wait "" "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Opera\launcher.exe" --uninstall --deleteuserprofile=1 
rd /s /q "%PROGRAMFILES%\Opera"
rd /s /q "%APPDATA%\Opera Software"
rd /s /q "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Opera Software"

Any help would be appreciated.

See https://forums.opera.com/post/266906. The silent uninstall switch was purposely disabled by Opera. It's also noted at the bottom of https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/installer_commands/ that it's no longer supported.
