Are there any command line parameter for the Guest Additions uninstaller?

How would you uninstall any other software in this hypothetical guest OS?

What I want to accomplish is to uninstall Guest Additions via host terminal.
Because vboxmanage guestcontrol updateadditions does not seem to work (goes to 20% and then stops). I have a lot of VM's and I don't want to update by GUI.
The host system (Linux) is version 5.2.18r123745 and the VM (Win7) I want to update is 4.2.18r88780.

I don't believe you thought through my proposal. What I was hinting at is that the normal uninstall command could be sent to the guest OS using "VBoxManage guestcontrol run", assuming that your guest OS supports such a command line function.

Moving this topic to "Linux Hosts".

Yes I understand. I still would like to know if there are any command line parameters for the VB Guest Addition uninst.exe
Like /S /Silent /U and so on. Are there any?
