Does anyone know if there is a way to silently uninstall Zimbra Desktop 1.0.4?

What exactly do you mean by a 'silent uninstall'?

Silent: displays no windows or dialog. Unattended: requires no user interaction. You can do this, e.g., with an MSI:

msiexec.exe /X {GUID} /QN

or sometimes with a switch:

uninstall.exe /s or uninstall.exe /q

ZD uses MSIs now, so you can do a silent uninstallation as described above; however, ZD 1.0 is a custom EXE. There is an uninstall.exe in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Zimbra\zdesktop, but I haven't been able to find a way to make this silent or unattended.

I didn't know if maybe there was a custom switch (e.g., Google Chrome is one I can think of off the top my head) hidden in there somewhere, or if you have to manually run uninstall.exe and click through all of the dialog boxes.
