@Guest: We can only help you with problems with the actual WinSCP uninstaller. We cannot help you with getting SCCM to find the WinSCP uninstaller.

If get to the point that the actual WinSCP uninstaller is failing somehow, please post its log file.

How about uninstalling WinSCP via SCCM.

Unfortunately the uninstall does not work via SCCM. Software Center gives a removal failed error.
Then expanding that it says

The software could not be found on any servers at this time.

I used “C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\unins000.exe” as the uninstall program. Then I changed it to “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\WinSCP\unins000.exe” but that didn’t work either as I get the same error.

So I copied unins000.exe, unins000.dat, and unins000.msg to my content location and redistributed to my distribution points. Then I set the uninstall program to unins000.exe. Now it just sits there saying uninstalling forever.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Thanks in advance!

@scottfiab: It's documented that /SILENT has to be accompanied with /ALLUSERS or /CURRENTUSER:

I ran into this same issue and discovered that (at least with version 5.19.6, idk about other versions) you have to specify either or otherwise it won't install. Manually running the exe from an admin cmd line will reveal this...convenient mandatory parameter. Notepad++ uses the same Inno Setup but does not require this additional specification.

Sorry, but "fails to install" does not tell us anything. What does it do? Do you get any error? Did you try /LOG?

WinSCP-5.17.10-Setup.exe /SILENT /NORESTART
Fails to install the app when the file name is left as default in SCCM.

Unfortunately, when the file name is not changed the same result occurs:
"WinSCP-5.17.10-Setup.exe" /SILENT /NORESTART fails to install the app too when deployed as a program.

Thanks for your help!

What should we check on the download page? We know our downloads. Which download did you rename? Is it WinSCP-5.17.10-Setup.exe? What does it mean "never seems to install"? What does it do? Btw, your commands are wrong. If you have added spaces to the file name, you need to quote it:

And there are no /S /v/qn switches in WinSCP installer.

It's the latest download.

Check the download page.

Regardless the switches should still work even if the file is renamed.

It's the latest download.

Check the download page.

What is WinSCP 5.17.10.exe? None of our downloads have this name.

Hello,
I have been attempting to deploy WinSCP 5.17.10 using SCCM, the app never seems to install regardless of the install command. I have tried the following variations:

It would be appreciated if someone could help with this issue as well as adding the uninstall command.

Thank you!
