Need to remove an application with msiexec /x using wildcards in a batch file

I'm running the following batch file to remove the splunk agent version 9.2.1 and works well. But, I'd like it to work for all versions so I don't have to modify the batch file as the version changes. Here is my batch file:

msiexec /x "%~dp0splunkforwarder-9.2.1-78803f08aabb-x64-release.msi" /quiet

So far, I've tried the option below with no success msiexec /x "%~dp0splunkforwarder-*.msi" /quiet

Please help. Thank you.

  • You can use a for command :

    for %%f in ("%~dp0splunkforwarder*.msi") do msiexec /x "%%f" /quiet
