MSI–Uninstall started from a network share–big nono!

I had this script for a while that I used to install/uninstall a bunch of MSI files prior to do a BizTalk deployment. I though it was working fantastic;

for /d %%d in (.) do forfiles /P . /S /M *.msi /C "cmd /c msiexec /x @file /quiet"

Unitill…..

I did this from a network share…this is not supported, a genius decided to use Windows as the Default path in this case…thus looking in the Windows folder and starts to uninstall all MSI’s that are lying around!!!

Never…..never run this from a network share!!

MSIUninstall

HTH,
