Hi all, I need to mass-uninstall Eudora in a few days on all our client computers, so I looked for away to uninstall it en masse. I had an idea to look at the uninstall string in the registry for Eudora (1), so I ran that command on a CLI, and it uninstalled fine. Then I reinstalled Eudora, to see if the uninstallstring is the same as the initial one. And of course it's not (2)... Is there any consistency at all when it comes to the same software versions (regarding guid's etc)?? The only thing I've seen that *might* help is that all the Eudora installers are made with Installshield. Installshield (supposedly) supports the "-uninst" switch, which I used with the setup-file (the one that installs Eudora), but the -uninst switch didn't do anything... [Maybe I used it wrong?] I'll resort to a dirty uninstall by simply deleting the Eudora program folder (c:\program files\qualcomm\Eudora) if I have too, but I'm thinking that this might break something in the registry, not to mention that Eudora will still be seen in the add/remove programs control panel. Any ideas ppl?
