Hi,

I want to remove an old version of a VPN program, but does anyone know what the parameter should say? Can't find anything on it and the things i've found so far that sort of look likes what i want to do doesn't work.

  • vpn client or Anyconnect? Cisco Systems VPN Client 5.0.07.0290 Uninstall Command: MsiExec.exe /X{467D5E81-8349-4892-9E81-C3674ED8E451}

    are you not able to find under Inventory › Software ›? - rahimpal 6 years ago
    • Our VPN is not called Cisco Systems VPN Client 5.0.07.0290, we have Aruba Networks Virtual Intranet Access. So will it still work?

      Also what options should I use, https://i.imgur.com/h2e9cE3.png - slothinator 6 years ago
  • even im not able to find in Software inventory for aruba ..did you try to locate the uninstall string in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall - rahimpal 6 years ago

  • Yes this worked! Thank you so much. - slothinator 6 years ago
  • This works for the newer VPN client but we dont have a product code for the older ones so we cant copy and paste the string from the registry got any ideas how to do it without the string? - slothinator 6 years ago
    • You could try using wmic

      Something like

      WMIC product where "Name LIKE '%%VPN Client%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive

      Insert the product name where i have VPN Client - rockhead44 6 years ago
      • I dont really follow, where do I find the WMIC? - slothinator 6 years ago
      • WMIC is a command line tool that you can call from a batch file.

        https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/wmic.mspx?mfr=true - rockhead44 6 years ago
      • Okay so you want me to place "Name LIKE '%%VPN Client%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive" into CMD? and change VPN Client to the name of the program? - slothinator 6 years ago
      • Correct.

        For example, here's a batch file I have that identifies all versions of Adobe Flash Player and uninstalls

        @ECHO OFF
        WMIC product where "Name LIKE '%%Adobe Flash Player%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
        exit - rockhead44 6 years ago
      • So i will just create a .bat file with "@ECHO OFF WMIC product where "Name LIKE '%%Adobe Flash Player%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive exit" in it and then run it? will that also remove the VPN program for all the other users within the company? or is that just for me? or can I make it so it removes the program for other users too? - slothinator 6 years ago
