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
<file:///\\%251>  cmd.exe /c "MsiExec.exe
/I{0FD23E02-2BFB-4BEC-8823-FE984F83F161}"

 

Hope this helps in some way maybe!? :-) 

Good Luck!

 

Cheers

James

Hello,

computers, but it there an easy way to remove a program?
