uninstall command line question
Managed install for Office 2013.
Need to uninstall Office 2007 and 2010.
I created a managed install to deploy microsoft office 2013. It works great, however I would like to uninstall previous versions of Office at the same time using the Managed Install. Question is: Do i put the uninstall command in front of the install command in the Full Command Line box? Or do i have to zip up the uninstall command with the associated zip file?

Did you use the built in tool to customise your installation??
If you did you would have seen the option on removing prev versions. by default it will remove all prev versions, so you don't actually have to do anything.

Can you tell me the entry of the software in "Programs and Features"? So that I can give you a script to uninstall any software by using that entry.
save the below script as .vbs file after changed the underlined name by your software name.
On Error Resume Next
const AppName = "VLC media player"
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'First, find the GUID
strComputer = "."
Set objReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\"&_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
objReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, arrSubKeys
For Each subkey In arrSubKeys
InstalledAppName = ""
InstalledAppName = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\" & strKeyPath & "\" & subkey & "\DisplayName")
If InStr(InstalledAppName, AppName) > 0 then
RawGUID = ""
GUID = ""
RawGUID = WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\" & strKeyPath & "\" & subkey & "\UninstallString")
GUID = Mid(RawGUID, instr(RawGUID, "{"), 38)
If GUID<>"" then
' Found matching GUID, Uninstalling...
WshShell.Run "msiexec /x " & GUID & " /qn"
Exit For
End If
End If
Next

You did F5 (Refresh) the view on ARP, right? Sometimes, it doesn't update in real-time, it has to be encouraged! :-) - anonymous_9363 8 years ago-
