Check for Certain Apps and then remove them...
Hello folks,
I am looking for a VB script that checks for certain applications through the registry and if it finds them, removes them...
Your help would be greatly appreciated...

Here's what I am doing:
I am installing 5 applications with revisions...What I want to do is have the script uninstall using the GUID then reinstall the same apps with the revisions in them...I have the revision install working through the script...What I want is the script to check for the said apps installed and if it finds them, uninstalls them, and if it doesn't find them, then just move on to install them...

What am I missing here? It uninstalls previous versions just fine but pisses out when reinstalling...Am I missing something here?
Sub Main()

If blnReturn Then
strcode = UnInstallProductWithPrductCode(strOldProductCode) : CheckErrorLogEvent strcode , "UnInstall: " & strOldProductName
End If
blnReturn = ""
blnReturn = CheckProductInstallState(strDistillrProductCode)

Through my crystal ball, I see..............bugger! Nothing!
It's no good. You're going to have to tell us: does the 'InstallProductWithTransform' function include verbose logging in its command line? If it doesn't, no-one will have the first clue as to what failed. If it does, fancy sharing the relevant part of the log with us?
