You can use Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to customise the IE as per the requirement and deploy it Via SMS. Check this link on IEAK http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/bb219524

It is silient uninstall but you have to get the Product ID for the applicaiton which is installed on computer.It may not be same for all Visio appliactions.

Yes,you would require one Account for this. More info from Technet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680962.aspx

You can also use Right click tools or If you are in SCCM R3,it gives you the option to add list of computers ,or else sccm collection creator and many other avilable

You can either use pakage editor tool or registry editor to get the product code of it. The product code is same on all computers if you have used the same application while installing. Look at registry file on one computer for getting the product code where it is installed. reg Path location to search: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ Take a look at each value for identifying the visio product code.

Try identify the Product code of Visio from registry editor and try the below command line: msiexec /qn /x {Product code of Visio 2007} Or Try this article from Appdeply http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tm.asp?m=47294
