Sorry, I don know, but I don't think so...
XMBC does not use MSI, it uses the (old) nullsoft installer - so I'm a little surprised the MSI installer arguments worked for the installation process, but I'm pretty sure they wont work for the stub uninstaller. I can have a look and see if its possible!

If it requires a software change (new version of the installer) it certainly will not happen soon (at least not until version 2.21 is released which could be as much as a year away). If its a simple matter of knowing the arguments to use, then no problem!

The argument is uninstall.exe /S
But it will not work as the code needs to be adjusted to recognize the /S argument. It will work from the next release (probably 2.20.3)

I also thought, it's strange that the documented parameter did not work.

Command introduced with NSIS v1.70
It's good that this can be fixed quickly.

What bit about "But it will not work as the code needs to be adjusted to recognize the /S argument" did you not understand?!
The code itself needs to recognize the /S in order to NOT display any prompts. The /S is supported but the code does not yet check the arguments to see if /S was provided. It will in the next build.
