AFPL Ghostscript

This is a silent installer and uninstaller for AFPL Ghostscript and the accompanying AFPL Ghostscript Fonts. Note that the uninstall proces is not silent, the user is prompted to verify removing the software. The installation files can be obtained by unzipping the .exe installer.

<package id="ghostscript" name="AFPL Ghostscript" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0" >
 <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="AFPL Ghostscript 8.54" />
 <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="AFPL Ghostscript Fonts" />
 <install cmd='%WINDIR%\system32\cmd /c start /wait /d %SOFTWARE%\ghostscript\gs %SOFTWARE%\ghostscript\gs\setupgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs"' />
 <remove cmd='%WINDIR%\system32\cmd /c start /wait /d %SOFTWARE%\ghostscript\gs %SOFTWARE%\ghostscript\gs\uninstgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs\gs8.54\uninstal.txt"' />
 <remove cmd='%WINDIR%\system32\cmd /c start /wait /d %SOFTWARE%\ghostscript\gs %SOFTWARE%\ghostscript\gs\uninstgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs\fonts\uninstal.txt"' />
</package>

If gsview is installed, use the uninstaller from gsview with an additional "-q":

 <remove cmd='%ProgramFiles%\ghostgum\gsview\uninstgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\fonts\uninstal.txt" -q' />


GPL Ghostscript

This is the silent installer for GPL Ghostscript.

<package id="gplghostscript" name="GPL GhostScript 8.63" revision="863" reboot="false" priority="0">
 <check type="logical" condition="and">
  <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="GPL Ghostscript 8.63" />
  <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="GPL Ghostscript Fonts" />
 </check>
 <install cmd='%WINDIR%\system32\cmd /c start /wait /d %SOFTWARE%\gs8.63\ %SOFTWARE%\gs8.63\setupgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs"' />
 <remove cmd='%WINDIR%\system32\cmd /c start /wait /d %SOFTWARE%\gs8.63 %SOFTWARE%\gs8.63\uninstgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs\gs8.63\uninstall.txt"' />
 <remove cmd='%WINDIR%\system32\cmd /c start /wait /d %SOFTWARE%\gs8.63 %SOFTWARE%\gs8.63\uninstgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs\fonts\uninstall.txt"' />
</package>

The uninstall for GPL ghostscript is not silent. It prompts the user to confirm the uninstall.

For version 9.02 the uninstallation command: "%ProgramFiles%\gs\gs9.02\uninstgs.exe" /S "_?%ProgramFiles%\gs\gs9.02" works silently

Example Autoit script for "silent" uninstall:

$Program1 = '\\path\to\gs861w32\uninstgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs\gs8.61\uninstal.txt"'
$Program2 = '\\path\to\gs861w32\uninstgs.exe "%ProgramFiles%\gs\fonts\uninstal.txt"'

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $Program1, "", @SW_HIDE);
	
; The window is invisible during boot!
WinWait("GPL Ghostscript 8.61", "", "30")
ControlSend("GPL Ghostscript 8.61", "", "", "u"); We remove the software
WinWait("GPL Ghostscript 8.61", "Uninstall successful", "30")
ControlSend("GPL Ghostscript 8.61", "", "", "{SPACE}"); We remove the software
	
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $Program2, "", @SW_HIDE);
; The window is invisible during boot!
WinWait("GPL Ghostscript Fonts", "", "30")
ControlSend("GPL Ghostscript Fonts", "", "", "u"); We remove the software
WinWait("GPL Ghostscript Fonts", "Uninstall successful", "30")
ControlSend("GPL Ghostscript Fonts", "", "", "{SPACE}"); We remove the software
