[THIN] Re: MSESC Update Question OT?

Doug,

you have already had a few posts but thought id add a few things just incase 
they help!

 

Sometimes EXE's call MSI's anyway? or at least have switches (especialyl 
microsoft patches) can you get any more info via a /? switch?

 

Also check the registry for an uninstall string (if it exists) for that 
particular application (though usually this is for MSI's only i think?)

 

HKLM \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<Program Install Code 
thing>\Uninstall String

 

example  "MsiExec.exe /x{0FD23E02-2BFB-4BEC-8823-FE984F83F161}"

 

 

And I always use a PSEXEC and For loop to call the command to remove on 
multiple machines

Example

 

for /f %1 in (c:\uninstal_PCs_list.txt) do psexec.exe \\%1 cmd.exe /c 
"MsiExec.exe /I{0FD23E02-2BFB-4BEC-8823-FE984F83F161}"
 
Hope this helps in some way maybe!? :-) 
Good Luck!
 
Cheers
James
