Marcel, Not sure about v3. I'd have to do some digging to find out but you're correct, MSI was introduced with v4.
Yes, you will need the TSM image to run the uninstall/install for each version.

Brian, Do v3 TSM clients use MSI as well?? I thought MSI 1.1 was introduced with TSM v4.1 clients. I will be installing all these clients on my local machine to check out... The v5 installation and uninstall is properly documented, but I hoped someone still had some experience in uninstalling v3 and v4.1 clients unattended. As far I can understand now - I will be shipping all previous versions MSI packages together with the new one... right?

Marcel, The uninstall is quite simple by replacing the -i switch of the msiexec command to -x. Then if you installed each of the different versions with default settings you will need to check the client readme for the silent section. It will have the different options for the ADDLOCAL setting. As the versions changed so did the ADDLOCAL settings. For example, the uninstall for the 5.1x version looked like: msiexec /x "C:\(path to .msi)\IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client.msi" RebootYesNo="No" REBOOT="Suppress" ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLDIR="C:\program files\tivoli\tsm" ADDLOCAL="BackupArchiveWeb,BackupArchiveGUI,ApiRuntime,AdministrativeCmd,Rea dmes" TRANSFORMS=1033.mst /qn /l*v "c:\log.txt" You may have to create separate scripts for the different versions but it can be applied to any client with that version as long as you installed using default settings. Hope that helps!

Hi all, I am currently trying to fix and align our Windows installed TSM Client base, and as we neglected this in the past, we have a variety of TSM Client versions in the field. We have about 200 NT clients that need updating. I want to create an unattended install script to seamlessly install the latest TSM client for Windows NT (5.1.7.3) or Windows 2000. (5.2.3.1). Now the install part (is..) looks easy with MSIEXEC, the difficult part is the uninstall of the v3 and v4 clients. These are the TSM Client versions we have out there: 3.7.2.0 4.1.0.0 4.2.0.0 4.2.1.20 4.2.3.0 4.2.3.4 5.1.1.0 5.1.5.0 Now all Version 5 release notes say that first we need to uninstall the V4 and V3 Client software. But how should that be done unattended ???? All documents say : "Open the Control Panel and double click on the Add/Remove Programs icon" - but that's not what I call unattended :-(. I have searched the list, but could not find a definite answer, nor in any Tivoli documentation. Any more gotcha's I'll need to know for the upgrades?
